Review # 1
* * * * Stars (Great!)
This book is about a girl and a boy who find their way into Narnia. They have to get through many obstacles on their way there.

Review # 2
* * * Stars (Pretty good)
This was the first book of the Chronicles of Narnia, and my least favorite book. Not a whole lot happened – they just told how Narnia began and how the White Witch got there. Other than that, it wasn’t too exciting.

Review #3
* * * * * Stars (Amazing!)
Join Diggory and Polly as they discover a new world where animals talk, and an evil queen desires authority.  It is no wonder that this book is a classic; there’s no other like it!  Although C.S. Lewis is a bit over-descriptive at times, he pulled together a fantastic opening for the Chronicles of Narnia series!

Review #4
* * * * Stars (Great!)
Digory and Polly wear rings which take them to a different world where they bring back an evil queen. Later, they try to take the queen back to her world, but instead they all end up in a new world called Narnia. I liked this book because it was really exciting and it had a lot of action.
