Book Club Report #3

Title of Book: The Chronicles of Narnia, it has 7 books in this series but I'm reading book 1: The Magician's Nephew. It has 202 pages and I'm now on page 34, I've read 16 pages this week. I understand about 85% what I read after many times read it again and again.
The most significant thing that impressed me in the book this week is: the moment when Digory touched the yellow ring, he would vanish out of the world and went to another place that he never know. He had to do that because he wanted to come the place that his uncle Andrew hid Polly (his friend). The only way to help Polly came back home is that she must touch the green ring. And the only one brought the ring for her was Digory.
In think that moment was the most significant because it would begin a very long dangerous trip to rescue Polly. Digory is a little schoolboy and he never believe in magic till that day. He had no alternative and the adventure began from the moment he touched the yellow ring.
