Along the way they find another talking horse, Hwin, and a girl, Aravis. They decide that they will all go to Narnia and on their journey Shasta finds out that he has a big role in saving Narnia.

My favorite part of the book was when Rabadash got stuck on a hook and got turned into a donkey, it was so funny

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe



The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
chronological: (book two in The Chronicles of Narnia)
written: (book one in The Chronicles of Narnia)
C.S. Lewis
186 pages (x2)
fiction
"But, Mr. Beaver," said Lucy, "can't we-- I mean we must do something to save him". The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, by C.S. Lewis, is  about four siblings: Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy who explore their new house when Lucy wonders into a wardrobe. She finds herself in a wood and eventually all four children go into the wood, called Narnia. They start to explore when they find out that Edmund later went to Jadis' house (an evil witch's castle) and is now trapped. The only person that can save Edmund and the rest Narnia is a lion Aslan. Throughout the story Lucy shows kindness and fairness to almost everybody she meets.
I think the movie makers chose good actors and the movie followed the book pretty well.

MN Digory's blog entry



(202 pages)

I am now very happy that the evil witch, Jadis, cannot harm Narnia. She is not only trying to rule Narnia, but was trying to get me to use the magical apple, rather than obey Alsan. I almost fell for her tricks when she told me I could heal my mother with it and live happily with her. I snapped back to my senses when I realized how wrong it was and when the witch suggested that I leave Polly alone. In the end, I felt good that I planted the tree and that the witch will be kept away from Narnia for a long time (one bonus is that I still got to give my mother an apple that healed her).

Rain Poem

As the rain falls on my head
I think of sleeping in my bed
When I wake I'll go outside
With those raindrops at my side

Magican's Nephew questions: Digory's post

When I got transported to a cold, dark place I heard a most beautiful sound. It was just one note but it filled me with joy. It seemed as though this “voice” started to form the stars up above us, adding a bright sun. As the young sun rose I found out what was making the wonderful sound. To my amazement, it was a lion making the majestic sound. After hearing the life bringing sound, the place didn’t seem so dark and cold, but joyful and full of life instead
