This is the last book in the magical series of Narnia. The heroes Jill and Eustace are thrown by a great jerk into Narnia, but some terrible things have happened in Narnia. The cleverest, ugliest and the most wrinkled ape in Narnia, Shift and the most foolish of creatures, Puzzle the donkey have turned Narnia upside down. They found an old lion skin and Shift told Puzzle to pose as Aslan, the Narnian god and people from Calormen have also come to take over Narnia seeing the opportunity. Shift has told the Calormenes that their god Tash is the same as Aslan. Now it's up to king Tirian (the current king of Narnia) Jill,Eustace, Jewel (the kings horse), Poggin the dwarf and Farsight the eagle. Narnia will come to an end that you would have never thought of before. Now down to the reviews   this book is a must if you are Narnia lover, its so interesting that its not funny. I'm telling you you Got to read this book.

The Magic Thief by Sarah Prineas

This is a story about a pickpocket called Connwear, magician Nevery, body gaurd Benet, Dutchess's daughter Rowan and the villan Crowe who live in the magical city of Wellmet.
Connwear once tries to pick a magician's pocket and almost loses his life. The magician (who, you may have guessed, was Nevery) is suprised that Connwear didn't lose his life immediately while stealing the stone in Nevery's pocket. The stone is called a Locus Magicalicus. So Nevery takes on Connwear as a apprentice but the other magicians are questioning Connwear's ability. Now, it's up to Connwear to get a Locus Magicalicus but another alarming thing begins to happen - the magical levels in Wellmet are decreasing and Connwear thinks Crowe is behind this. So it's up to Connwear and Rowan to save the day.
(I can't tell you the ending otherwise there's no fun reading the book)
My opinion on the book is that it's extremly well written, story is fine and pictures are extraodinary. Really good if you like twists and turns and excitement (includes magic). By the way there are some good biscuit recepies too at the back.
