PRINCE CASPIAN

PRINCE CASPIAN by C.S. Lewis

On to Prince Caspian! After being back in their own world for a year, the Pevensie children are about to catch trains to head to boarding school. The boys will be going one direction and the girls another. Suddenly, they are pulled out of the train station by magic and find themselves deposited on an overgrown island. They don't recognize anything, and it's clear no one has inhabited it for years. After searching and making discoveries, they realize they are in the ruins of Cair Paravel. Someone has blown Queen Susan's horn and called them out of their world. The rightful king and Narnia are in need of their help.

Prince Caspian is a coming-of-age story. It highlights the character traits of honor, accepting one's responsibility, obedience (even when we can't see or understand), and standing up for right even if you are out numbered. As with all the Narnia books it is beautifully written and well worth the read.
