The Magician's Nephew by C.S. Lewis

The Magician's Nephew by C.S. Lewis is about the start of  the world of Narnia. In this first book of the series, Digory and Polly are curious and bored children who decides to venture into the connected attics of their homes. Unfortunately, they end up being transported into a magical hub with portals to different worlds. Over many other events, Digory, Polly, their Uncle and an evil queen end up in Narnia. Aslan, the lion and creator of Narnia sets Digory on a journey where he has to make a choice regarding the life and death of his mother. Ultimately, The Magician's Nephew is an easy read with the theme of greed and perseverance. This novel shows the results of being greedy vs. resisting greed.

I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a an easy and short fantasy book to read. I would also recommend this to anyone who wants to read the entire Chronicles of Narnia chronologically. I loved how this book explains the background story before the happenings in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. I loved all of the connections and revelations I made between these two stories!
