Description: Lucy and Edmund, with their dreadful cousin Eustace, get magically pulled into a painting of a ship at sea. That ship is the Dawn Treader, and on board is Caspian, King of Narnia. He and his companions, including Reepicheep, the valiant warrior mouse, are searching for seven lost lords of Narnia, and their voyage will take them to the edge of the world. Their adventures include being captured by slave traders, a much-too-close encounter with a dragon, and visits to many enchanted islands, including the place where dreams come true. (via Goodreads)
Thoughts: For some reason, I found this book to be difficult to get through. Maybe it was the fact that the story seemed to be too chaotic and disjointed for liking and that maybe if I were closer to the age of the main characters, I may have enjoyed the book a more than I did.
Bottom line: For me at least, there were parts of the book that felt dull but also there were parts that were enjoyable and entertaining. It was a nice continuation of the series and towards the end of the book, I finally could see the illusion that Lewis was aiming towards. Recommended.
