"The prequel to Chronicles of Narnia though the second to last book published, taking places decades before the first book of the series has a group of kids join a magician and his nephew on an adventure to a couple of parallel worlds; worth reading!"

"For me, this one ranks in the top three for the whole series. The last few books weren't great, but this was a bounce back. Genesis references aren't subtle in this one. "

"I have long since lost count of how many times I've read this series, but I decided it was time for yet another reread! This is a series that everyone should read at least once in their life. It's a great book for all ages! I remember my Aunt playing the audio books for my sister and I when we were young, and this is one of the main series that made me fall in love with reading! Though this was the sixth book written, chronologically, it's the first. Though I usually prefer reading things in publication order, I've read this entire series multiple times and can definitively say I prefer it in chronological order. That being said, publication order may be best for first time readers. 10/10 would recommend!"

"It was good, but not as good as the others. Except Silver Chair. It was much better than that one."

Phoebe Jones

"I don’t know why but this book didn’t click with me. I barley remember what happened in the book despite it being fast paced. This was my introduction to Narnia. I haven’t read any of the other books."
