This is one of the first books I ever read that turned traditional ideas on their head. The boy did not own the horse. Instead, this Narnian horse owns the boy. Teaches the boy. Mentors him. I love books that challenge our traditional roles, and thinking upon it in retrospect, this is probably one of the books in my childhood that caused me to …
I am reading this entire series this summer to our 14-year-old son. He said, “Three stars. It was pretty good.
