The Magician's Nephew by C.S. Lewis

The secret passage to the house next door leads to a fascinating adventure. The Magician's Nephew, the first book of The Chronicles of Narnia... where the woods are thick and cool, we're talking beasts are called to life... a new world where the adventure begins. Digory and Polly meet and become friends one cold wet summer in London. Their lives burst into adventure when Digory's Uncle Andrew, who thinks he's a magician sends them hurdling to... somewhere else. They find their way to Narnia, newborn from the Lion's song, and encounter the evil sorceress, Jadis, before they finally return home.

I've always wanted to read through the Chronicles of Narnia in the order by which the story is chronologically correct instead of how they were written. This was a good read, quick and easy. I think I've read it before but couldn't remember. I love how things are so interwoven and connected to the other Narnia books, especially when the explanation of how the famous wardrobe is told.

7 out of 10.
