Reading Response 3: The Magician’s Nephew

                It is in old England, Sherlock Holmes is still living on Baker Street, and off in a small corner of London, the children Digory, and Polly find themselves catapulted into strange worlds by Digory’s mad Uncle. The children were given rings to go to strange worlds which will eventually lead to the discovery of Narnia. Digory and Polly use the rings to explore the many worlds in the Woods between the Worlds and discover many interesting things.

                Digory’s uncle sends Polly into the unknown and traps Digory into going as well. This is Digory’s response: “‘By gum,’ said Digory, ‘Don’t I just wish I was big enough to punch your head!’” This helps prove the point that Digory’s uncle is absolutely insane. So far I haven’t gotten very far in this book only about fifty pages in, but I find it very intriguing. It has managed to capture my attention, and keep me guessing as to what will happen next. I very much enjoy it. This book is definitely worth a read.
