Series: Chronicles of Narnia
Author: C. S. Lewis
Approximate reading level: 7th grade
Summary
Lucy and Edmund are again called to
Narnia, this time with their cousin Eustace rather than Peter and
Susan. They enter through a picture into the ocean and are pulled
aboard King Caspian's best ship, the Dawn Treader. King Caspian and
his shipmates are traveling east from Narnia, seeking the seven lords
who were lost when sent exploring under King Miraz's reign. Some of
the seven lords have died, and some have been enchanted. As always
when in Narnia, the children have many adventures and meet many new
and wondrous creatures. Before the children reach the end of the
world and return to England, Eustace is profoundly changed by his
part in the adventures.
Review
There are fewer battle scenes in this
book than in the other Chronicles of Narnia, but
there are still some scenes that may worry some children. Eustace's
hard-learned lesson about his bad attitude may be quite helpful for
some children. Like the other books in the Narnia series,
I think this book is good to read to young children who are
unable to read it alone as well as for older children (or adults) to
read on their own.
**** 4 stars
