I enjoyed reading this book because once I started it I really got into the book and couldn't stop.  As I read each page I pictured the scenes they were creating.  I hope that if you decide to read the book you will like it as much as I did.

This book is about a child whose uncle is a magician.   The magician does some very unusual magic.  He sends his nephew to a land with many lakes.  Once his nephew steps in the water,  it sends him on several journeys to other lands.  The nephew awakens the White Witch and he discovers Narnia.   He finds the lion named Aslan.  You will have to read this book to find out how  the legend of Narnia starts.  I would recommend this book to people who like fantasy.

I read The Magician’s Nephew, which is a book about a boy, Digory, whose uncle thinks himself to be a magician.

One day, Digory meets his neighbor, Polly, and they become good friends. Digory’s uncle sends them to an unknown place, and the children must find their way back to London on their own. Will they ever return home? Will they ever see their families again?

I think The Magician’s Nephew is a good book and an exciting one, too. You never know what is going to happen next. It was full of adventure and I can’t wait to read one of C. S. Lewis’s sequels to this book. I recommend The Magician’s Nephew to anyone who likes fantasy and magic.

In the book, I liked how Digory had to solve a hard conflict: whether to go on the good side or the bad side. That’s how life is too. You have to listen to what God tells you to do through your heart. The Magician’s Nephew prepared me for what might happen in my future. It’s simple; I just have to listen.

That will prepare me for life. Just as Digory listened to Asland, I will always listen to my conscience before I do something.
