Lucy, Edmund, and their cousin travel back to Narnia through a painting where they board a ship named "The Dawn Treader." They find King Caspian and a mouse on the ship and they find mystical creatures and go on a mission that will decide Narnia's fate!
Recién lo leí por tercera vez con mi hija. Me sorprendió que ella no se rindiera, aunque sí noté que su nivel de atención se redujo. Esta tercera entrega comienza bien, pero desde poco antes de la mitad de la historia, percibo un cambio en el estilo narrativo que lo vuelve pesado para la edad a la que está dirigido.
3.5 stars, additional 0.5 stars for nostalgia. This and "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" are my favourites of the series.
Another 6-star book, according to my grandson. The books in this series are something both he and his opa (me) enjoy immensely. He was mesmerized by the finale of the voyage.
I enjoyed re-reading this more than re-reading The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Some great moments of humor (er, humour), and I really enjoyed each of the mini-adventures the crew and passengers of the Dawn Treader experience.
I used to love these books, but they've started making me sad. C. S. Lewis was not a big fan of women.
We enjoyed this one very much. Sebastian (my 7-year-old son) became an instant fan of Reepicheep the talking mouse, even though I never quite managed to develop a distinctive voice for him.
Placing the story primarily outside of Narnia was a good idea; the result is a considerably more imaginative book than the previous one (Prince Caspian).
As always, I must note that the numbering placed on modern editions of the books by the publisher is wrong. The books should be read in the order in which they were written; reading them in the "modern" order actually ruins many of the surprises.
