Evaluation:
I am an avid reader of C.S. Lewis's literary works. C.S. Lewis the author of Mere Christianity wrote a 7 volume book called The Chronicles of Narnia. I recommend this book to all the young readers out there. It will not only help reluctant readers, but will also teach them important morale and Christian values. The illustrations were fabulous; they were very detailed sketches and flowed perfectly with the part of the story they were meant to go with so that the story was clearer to understand.
Reader's Annotation:
A wardrobe that sends you to a magical place called Narnia. Discover the Magic and meet Aslan, the Great Lion... open this book and your lives will be changed forever.
