Summary: This book is about a boy named Digory and his friend Polly. Digory lived with his uncle Andrew, his aunt, and his mother who was in bed with an illness. Polly was Digory's neighbor and she lived with her parents. One day when Digory was over at Polly's, they went through this tunnel that they believed went up through the attic of every house in London. As they were walking through it they discovered a door. As they opened the door they found themselves inside of a room, and Digory recognized it as his house. They also found that Uncle Andrew was in there also. Polly wasn't paying much attention to Uncle Andrew because there were these beautiful rings right next to him on the side table. When Uncle Andrew noticed she was looking at them he told her she could have one. When Polly touched the ring she disappeared and Digory demanded to know what happened to her. Finally Uncle Andrew told Digory that the ring was a magic one and that he transported Polly into another world and that the only way she could come back is if he, digory, would go in and save her. So digory was also transported, but once he got to the new world he saw a big forest full of trees and on the ground was small ponds as far he could see. Digory found Polly and they jumped into one of the pools to see what would happen. They again found themselves into another world. From there they awaken a white witch, and discover Narnia.
If you read this book you can find out what Narnia is and what they will do when the existences of Narnia is in worldly hands.
Things I liked about this book were how much detail there was in the writing. Some things I didn't like were how it lacked in adventure and excitement, but other than that it was really good.
I would recommend boys and girls to read this book. Also if the person likes fantasies and long series.
