BOOK 37: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, by C.S. Lewis


Rating: 5 stars

Cover synopsis: King Caspian has built The Dawn Treader for his voyage to find the seven lords, good men whom his evil uncle Miraz banished when he usurped the throne. The journey takes Edmund, Lucy, their cousin Eustace, and Caspian to the Eastern Islands, beyond the Silver Sea, toward Aslan's country at the End of the World.

This is book 5 in the Chronicles of Narnia, and is as imaginative and wonderful as its predecessors. There were two characters I really enjoyed in this book: Eustace (the sourfaced cousin of Lucy and Edmund) and Reepicheep the Mouse. One is hilariously cowardly, and the other is hilariously courageous.

From adventures with dragons, an island where dreams come true (dreams, not day dreams), and underwater sea people, you never know what the world of Narnia has in store.
