SuitabookThe Magician's Nephew
C.S. Lewis
- Reading
- Try reading together through the early stages of the quest, then let your reader continue independently if they are comfortable with the level of peril. Pause where the world of Narnia begins to take shape.
- Themes
- An adventure that becomes an origin story: The children’s quest leads into a new world, and Aslan’s song brings Narnia into being. The plot links the children’s adventure to the creation of the land, giving the journey an origin-story dimension.
- Worth knowing
- The plot includes a threat of enslavement by a sorceress. If peril or coercion is difficult for your reader, you could check in as the children face that danger.
