The book The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe is about four kids that have to move in with a professor because of the war going on where they live. The house is a big interesting house that they want to explore. As they search the rooms the find one room with just a wardrobe Susan, Peter, and Edmund find it dull and move on to the next room but, Lucy finds it fascinating. She likes wardrobes and goes to see all the coats. As she keeps going farther back in the wardrobe she soon finds herself in the woods of a different world. She meets a faun named Mr. Tumnus, and he tells her it's Narnia. He tells her things about Narnia. Lucy returns and tells her siblings about her adventure but when they go to the wardrobe and go to the back they find that there is no way into another world.
Later the kids are playing hide-and-go-seek. Lucy goes into the wardrobe and her brother, Edmund, follows her to make fun of her "pretend world." As he goes into the wardrobe he finds himself in Narnia as well. While Edmund is in Narnia he meets the White Witch, and she makes him think that she is all good and nice even though she’s not. He then meets back up with Lucy. When Lucy and Edmund return to their world Lucy tells Susan and Peter, the older siblings, that Edmund went to Narnia too, Edmund objects. Then one day when all the kids were trying to stay out of trouble they find themselves in the wardrobe and they cross over to Narnia. They feel bad for not believing Lucy and get mad at Edmund for lying to them about not being in Narnia. So off they go to explore Narnia. Lucy goes to show them where Mr. Tumnus lives but his house is torn apart. After, Mr. Beaver, a friend of Mr. Tumnus, helps the kids arrive safely to his home. They eat and talk about Narnia, where Mr. tumnus is, the White Witch and Aslan, the King of Narnia. While the kids and Mr. and Mrs. Beaver talk Edmund sneaks out to go to the White Witch's Castle because he likes her even though she is bad. The others soon realize that Edmund is gone and probably going to betray them so they get out of there and start on their way to where they will meet Aslan.
When they meet Aslan they figure out that because they are human they are the Kings and Queens of Narnia. Soon the White Witch goes to where Aslan is and they make an agreement to give Edmund (because he is now the White Witch’s captive) back if Aslan comes to the Stone Table so she can kill Aslan. Lucy and Susan watch Aslan die and come back to life again. Aslan, Lucy, and Susan rush to get recruits from the White Witch’s castle that he held as prisoners and they rush to the war that is Aslan’s followers against the white Witch’s followers. By this time Edmund is on Aslan’s side fighting along his family members.
It is very entertaining book and C.S. Lewis writes it as if he is talking to you. C.S. Lewis. I agree with C.S. Lewis that good conquers bad, like in the book even though Aslan gets killed because he was willing to die for others he got revived from the dead and he soon conquered evil. This book helped me see that we can all make bad mistakes and we can always come back to the right side like Edmund did. I think that now I feel like even though someone might make a big mistake that I will be able to forgive them just like Edmund’s siblings did. Now I can forgive others even if it’s hard and I don’t want to it will make me happier if I do.
This book was really great and I would give it an A! The way that C.S. Lewis writes can be a little confusing at times, but I also really like how he writes. This book is just about as good as the movie. Although it’s a little different but, it’s a really great book. If you like the movie, you’ll like the book.
