Praiseworthy Pages

Reader Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5 stars)

Who else wanted to find a hidden world in their closet as a child? C. S. Lewis’ fascinating story that illustrates such powerful religious sentiments definitely hit me different when I read it as an adult. If you’re looking for a clean, uplifting novel to read to your kids that you will also enjoy, I highly recommend it. 

Language: 10/10 (No swearing).
