Narnia . . . where a dragon awakens . . . where stars walk the earth . . . where anything can happen.

A king and some unexpected companions embark on a voyage that will take them beyond all known lands. As they sail farther and farther from charted waters, they discover that their quest is more than they imagined and that the world's end is only the beginning.

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is the fifth book in C. S. Lewis’s The Chronicles of Narnia, a series that has become part of the canon of classic literature, drawing readers of all ages into a magical land with unforgettable characters for over sixty years. This is a novel that stands on its own, but if you would like to continue to the journey, read The Silver Chair, the sixth book in The Chronicles of Narnia.

Ratings and reviews

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is a good book. It is definitely not the best in the series, but the recreation of Homer's The Odyssey is well done and very entertaining. The best part of the book is without a doubt the last 30 pages - if you enjoy imagery. Of course this book should be read by everyone as most C. S. Lewis' novels should be.

Following the two previous books, this one is the richest in mysteries and adventures as the characters get really close to finding out more about Narnia, Aslan and his country. The idea of travelling towards the end of the world makes this book really exciting. If we look at this story as an allegory to Christianity, it definitely presents multiple moments that offer great opportunities for thinking about spirituality, faith and resilience when facing adversities. Even though there are lots of different of events going on from the beginning to the end, the book is quite short if we consider the number of pages, which can make the reading experience feel a little bit shallow.

(All Ages)In this captivating book, the fifth installment of The Chronicles Of Narnia the Pevensies Edmund and Lucy, along with there nasty cousin Eustace, find themselves swept off to Narnia on Caspians ship, The Dawn Treader. A must read for anyone who liked the books or movies in the Narnia series. Also, don't forget to see the movie in theaters in December.
