by Patti Callahan >> Megs Devonshire, on a scholarship to Oxford, prefers the dependability of facts, except for one: the brother she loves doesn’t have long to live. George becomes captivated by a brand-new book called The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and begs her to find out where Narnia came from. Despite her timidity, she approaches author C.S. Lewis to find out if Narnia is real. Lewis takes her on a magical journey through little-known tales from different periods in his life, which she takes home to George. Why won’t Mr. Lewis just tell her plainly what George wants to know? The answer will reveal to Megs many truths that science and math cannot, and the gift she thought she was giving to her brother—the story behind Narnia—turns out to be his gift to her, instead: hope.
