Will Digory and Polly get the apple? Will Digory's mom get better? Read the book to find out what happens!
The character Digory reminded me of my cousin, Audrey. Diogry is very adventurous as is my cousin. My cousin likes to explore just like Digory
This book is part of a series. The series is called The Chronicles of Narnia. The book is similar to The Lion The Witch & The Wardrobe. The two books almost have the same setting, characters and style.
This book reminded me of when I was exploring my grandma's big creepy house. I got really scared and ran outside next to the tree.
This book had pictures that really help me out because if you didn't read the book and only looked at pictures you would definitely understand it well.
I do recommend this book! I recommend it because every time you open the book it's like you're actually in the book and when you close the book the author leaves you hanging. I also recommand this book because it is full of fantasy for those fiction lovers!
