Title:The Horse and His Boy
Author:C.S Lewis
Sentence Lead Starters: #13 & #18
After the book ends, I predict that Lasaraleen will take Aravis to the water towers and Aravis will end up in Narnia with Shasta because if Lasaraleen doesn't take Aravis to the water towers then Aravis threatened to go out in the hall and scream and yell. Then they would both get caught and killed. Aravis said that because she knows Lasaraleen is afraid to be killed. Aravis also knows that after Lasaraleen herd that she would take her to the water towers.
The genre fo this book is Non-Fiction because it has talking horses and a magical world called Narnia in it. In the real world we don't have talking horses or different magical worlds so that is how this book is Non-Fiction.
