If you’re a true bookworm then you know the feeling all too well–that bittersweet feeling when you’ve finished a book that you loved so much but you’re heartbroken now that it’s over. We rush, rush, rush to finish a book that’s so good we literally can’t put it down, until we realize that there’s only one chapter left and all of a sudden we need to drag it out as much as possible! That’s when a good book series comes to our rescue. We don’t have to be afraid to finish the book because there will be another one. Links contain affiliates, all opinions are always my own!

By far my favorite out of all of the series I’m sharing with you today. I tried to think of other books to compare it too like I did with all the other reads on the list, but I couldn’t. It’s not just the intricate storyline that weaves in and out of different times (it should be noted that the books were neither written nor published in chronological order, which is the best way to read them, in my opinion), or the vibrant imagery that Lewis creates, but the theme of Christianity that runs throughout the novels. They’re simple enough reads and enjoyable for young children, but I hesitate to call them YA Fiction (although that is how they’re classified) because of their thoughtful and meaningful events and quotes.
