This study is aimed at children as it's reader and it's done amazingly. It touches many important aspects of Lewis's book with simple language and interactive parts (quizzes etc.).
2.5 stars. This book was clearly not written for an adult audience looking for an in-depth analysis of LWW. It had some interesting bits, although it largely felt like a blog from the authors. Not really sure who the intended audience was, as I can’t imagine a child would read a companion book like this.
Why did I read it, you may ask? Because I love CS Lewis and wanted to learn more about his great work.
This is a great book for teens. I even found it interesting. Easy to understand and engaging and very educational. A little cheesy humor but that was ok.
