The Horse and his Boy

By C.S. Lewis
256 pages

Shasta is a slave boy in Calormen, working under an old fisherman. One day he meets a talking Narnian horse named Bree, who helped him escape to avoid being sold. They travel across the country, and stumble across another escaping Narnian horse, and its’ rider, Aravis. The four of them traveled onwards, until they reached the Tisrocs’ palace. They had to be careful going through the great city, and part way through, someone mistook Shasta for a prince named Corin, and took him away. He had to escape the Narnian king and queen, and find his way back to the others. Can he do it?

This book was really cool. I liked the plot of escaping a life of slavery and getting to a free country, and it was well written. I recommend this book to fans of Narnia and give it a 9 out of 10.
