The book Emily chose for March is The Magicians Nephew. It's the beginning of the Narnia series and those that don't read it can still put in their two cents!
"The story begins in London around 1900, when two children, Digory Kirke and Polly Plummer, meet. One day, while exploring the attic shared by all the adjoining houses in their terrace, they take the wrong door and surprise Digory's Uncle Andrew in his study. Uncle Andrew, a bumbling yet malevolent self-taught magician, tricks Polly into touching a yellow magic ring, which causes her to disappear. Andrew then blackmails Digory into following to rescue her by using another yellow magic ring and gives him two green magic rings to bring them back. The yellow rings transport the children into a wood with many pools of water. Initially, the pools appear to be just shallow puddles but, in a parallel to the attic common to the houses on their street, the children discover that jumping into different pools while wearing the green rings will transport the ring's wearer to different universes. Digory convinces Polly to come and explore through some of the other pools with him, expecting his uncle to confiscate the rings upon their return." And thus the beginning of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. The book and the series have Christian undertones, Aslan symbols Christ the light and the witch symbolizes Satan pure evil."
