Review Summaries

"It starts out with a young boy named Eustace Scrubb. He has four cousins who he doesn't like. They are Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy. Lucy and Edmund are coming to his house for a visit. Then when Lucy and Edmund get there, they go to their room, which has a picture of a Narnian ship. They really like this picture, for it looked like it was real. Then suddenly, the picture swallows Lucy, Edmund, and Eustace in to the ship. They are rescued in sea by Lucy and Edmund's friend, Prince Caspian. He welcomes them in to his ship and told him about his voyage. Prince Caspian owned this magnificent ship,Dawn Treader. Caspian had to find the seven lord friends of his father, because he had promised his people. So Lucy, Edmund and Eustace help him and experience many dangerous and exciting things. They meet a dragon, and a sea serpent. Eustace, being arrogant and mean, turns into a good boy. They all find the seven lords on their journey, and also finding many other unexpected things as well.
