The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe

Lewis, C.S. The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. NY: HarperCollins, 1950. 189 pages. (Fantasy Series)

There were four kids who ended up at their uncle’s house for the week and had a tough time before that. They were sad about their dad being in the war, and their mom stayed home and sent them away to their uncle’s house, away from the war. Their uncle was very mean to them at first, but then gave them some sympathy and didn’t really watch them every second. The four kids, Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy, played hide- and- go- seek one day and Lucy hid so well, the others couldn’t find her anywhere in the house. They finally found her and where she was hiding was a wardrobe that had a secret passage to another world that had an evil witch who would turn people to stone. But they didn’t know about the witch yet. They all went there and meet this weird fawn that was half human and half goat. He was scary at first to them, but after a while they were fine. The human looking creature brought them into his cabin and showed them around. The next day they were on their way back to their secret passage, but they ran into the evil witch who would turn you to stone. They struggled to get away and it took them a long time to get away.
I would recommend this book for someone to read if they like strange worlds and different, magical creatures. I would recommend this to you because it was a great book that I liked and this author writes very well.
