Mrs Keane's Recommended Reads

Book 1

Book 1

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is a magical adventure by C.S. Lewis in which four siblings discover a secret world and help defeat an evil ruler to restore peace.

Set during World War II, the story follows Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy as they are sent to live in a countryside house. Lucy stumbles upon a wardrobe that leads to Narnia—a land trapped in eternal winter by the wicked White Witch. It is a family classic and one that I have read many times, as a child and an adult!

Book 2

The Iron Man is a thrilling and imaginative story by Ted Hughes that explores friendship, courage, and understanding the unknown.

In this modern classic, a mysterious metal giant appears in the countryside, causing alarm among the local farmers as he devours their machinery. But when a young boy named Hogarth befriends the Iron Man, the story takes a hopeful turn. Together, they face an even greater challenge—a terrifying space creature threatening Earth. Through bravery and teamwork, the Iron Man becomes an unexpected hero, showing that even the strangest beings can have a kind heart.
