The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S Lewis is a book about 4 kids who go in a wardrobe and find a new world. The world is called Narnia. The kids try and save the land from the white witch. The White witch was making an eternal winter. If someone was mean to her she would turn them to stone. Aslan the lion comes to help and save them.

The main characters are Lucy, Susan, Peter, Edmund, Aslan, the white witch, Mr and Mrs Beaver and Mr Tumnus. All the characters above are very important and there could not be a story without them. They are very important.

The most exciting part of the book is when Aslan's death is turned backwards and he turns back to a living creature. It was the best part because the kids think there doomed until they find Aslan comes to life.

I recommend this book to people aged 9+ its great for most of those ages. The book is fun and interesting I rate it a 9/10. I think you should read this book which now has 2 different movies. If you enjoy this book there is other is other Narnia books.
