Prince Caspian, by C.S. Lewis

In Prince Caspian by C.S. Lewis, once again the four Pevensie children return to Narnia after a whole year. They feel as though they've spent a lifetime in Narnia but when they come back to our world it has only been a day. The children miss being in Narnia because their lives there were so comfortable as Kings and Queens. They are drawn back into Narnia when Prince Caspian, a prince who is aware of the old Narnia, blows Susan's horn for help. Miraz, the King of Telmarines, the uncle of Caspian has taken over Narnia and has turned it into a non-magical world. Miraz is attempting to kill Caspian because he now has his own son and Miraz wants his own son to rule Narnia. When the Pevensies return to Narnia they are first confused and meet a dwarf named Trumpkin. The siblings realize that it's been centuries that has passed since they were Kings and Queens while it has only been a year in their world. Narnia isn't the place they remember it to be anymore. The talking animals are hidden, Aslan is gone, and evil is once again ruling Narnia. Prince Caspian and the Pevensies eventually meet and the old Kings and Queens of Narnia help the young prince. Susan and Lucy go to look for Aslan while Peter and Edmund help Caspian prepare for battle. Narnia is again in war mode; who will be the true King of Narnia now?

I recommend this book to those who have read the beginning of the series of The Chronicles of Narnia. It is another exciting story full of adventure and action. People who love adventure and the work of C.S. Lewis must read this book. I give this book a 5 out of 5 and recommend you to read the whole series.
