King Caspian journeys across the eastern sea in search of the seven lords who were loyal to his late father. Joined by Edmund, Lucy, and the priggish Eustace, they have many unusual, scary, and thrilling adventures.
Caspian’s leadership is tested on the Lone Islands. They meet a dragon, a wizard, and other unusual creatures. A sea serpent, a land of dreams, a lake of gold, and the end of the world are in store. Reepicheep (a talking warrior mouse), like a brave knight, spurs them on to feats of bravery and honor as he tries to reach Aslan’s country.
Pay attention to the character contrasts between Eustace (the anti-hero) and the heroic Reepicheep. We are meant to learn from both. Also, the dragon episode is one of the key parts of the book, alluding to truths revealed in the Bible about becoming morally clean.
This is the third book in C.S. Lewis’s The Chronicles of Narnia. I recommend reading The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and Prince Caspian, first.
