Adapted from the book by C.S. Lewis. Digory is concerned about his ill mother and about his Uncle Andrew, who seems very strange indeed. When Digory and his friend are tricked by Uncle Andrew into embarking on a series of magical adventures, they are brought into contact with the forces of both evil and good. Digory is set a task, which he completes successfully, and the safety of Narnia and the restored health of his mother are thereby ensured.

The Magician's Nephew is the first book chronologically in the series, The Chronicles of Narnia, although not the first one to be written. It's the prequel, and I liked this book. Digory and Polly are both nice characters. They're two friends who leave our world and end up seeing Narnia being created by Aslan. Some parts of this book were boring for me, but it was, overall, a good story. :)
