Book Review By Neil Morey
The Last Battle - Chronicles of Narnia 7 by C.S. Lewis

Once again human children are called into Narnia to aid in a major problem. This time a shifty ape called Shift has dressed up his idiotic donkey friend Puzzle and has convinced people that he is the real Aslan. Using Puzzle as a puppet Shift is taking over control of Narnia and causing Civil unrest in the world. Jill Eustance and Lucy are all on hand to help in the accumulation of an army to fight this final showdown between the forces of evil and the forces of good.
