The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is supposedly the ‘first’ book in the Narnia series, as the Magician’s Nephew is part of the series but is treated as prologue. Within every page, the excitement that C.S. Lewis provoked in the reader was surreal. The adventure is of four children, the Pevensie's, who are all siblings. This book takes place during WWII, which is accurate because the war had just ended. It takes place in England, as the four children are forced to go to a distant relatives’ home, away from the war. Peter is the oldest, then comes Susan, then Edmund, and finally Lucy. One day, as they are playing hide and seek, Lucy hides in a wardrobe. As she goes deeper and deeper into it, she realizes that there is no end. As you might have already guessed, she is now in Narnia, where the winter is currently endless. She meets a wonderful faun, Mr. Tumnus who eventually helps her get back home. Upon returning, she tells her siblings of her adventure, but none of them believe her completely. Still, as it is meant to be, they all discover Narnia from the magical wardrobe, and their adventure begins. Rating: 5/5 - @thesoundofcolours of the Teen Review Board of the Hamilton Public Library In the book The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe by C. S. Lewis, siblings, Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy, leave their home in London to live with another family in the country just like so many other children during World War II. They are sent to a professor's country house and during a game of hide and seek Lucy discovers the Wardrobe. It is a doorway into the magical world of Narnia. With ancient prophecies, betrayals and a final battle, it is a fantasy adventure that takes place in a world with magical creatures, medieval armor and powerful symbols. It is a classic, one you will want to read again! (and again and again and again if you’re like me). I would definitely recommend it! (The movie is great too!) 4/5 stars - @Redibis of the Teen Review Board of the Hamilton Public Library Once, there were four siblings who were playing hide and seek on a rainy day. Lucy, the youngest of the siblings went into an empty room which only had a wardrobe in it and hid in there. She left a little bit of the wardrobe open so she didn’t lock herself in and waited. No one came into that room, until she heard footsteps near the door. Quickly, she went deeper into the closet and hid there between several furry coats. While she was hiding, she felt as if she was sitting on something rough. Not only that, but she felt something wet coming from above. Then Lucy realized that she wasn’t in her wardrobe at all, but in a snowing forest beside a lamppost. She had no idea how she got there. In that forest, she met a faun named Mr. Tumnus and went to his house to have a feast. When she saw what time it was, she quickly went back past the lamppost and returned in the wardrobe. She told her siblings Edmund, Susan, and Peter about the forest but they didn’t believe her. Eventually, all of them end up going into the forest and an adventure begins. - @redninam of the Teen Review Board of the Hamilton Public Library
