The Chronicles of Narnia

The Chronicles of Narnia is by C. S. Lewis. This timeless allegory is Lewis's masterpiece and a lasting treasure. It is written for children, but is even more moving for adults. This work should be read at least twice: as a child and then again as an adult when all of Lewis's allegorical subtleties can be more fully appreciated. The story revolves around children being transported to the magical land of Narnia where they become more than they ever thought possible with the help of the lion Aslan. The set consists of (in correct reading order): The Magician's Nephew, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, The Horse and His Boy, Prince Caspian, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, The Silver Chair, and the Last Battle.

Ratings: 6th grade - 10 out of 10.
