William OFlaherty CSL Minute

A great adventure at sea awaits you aboard the “Dawn Treader!”

When Eustace gets his first exposure to Narnia he, Edmund and Lucy join King Caspian who has already set sail to find the missing seven lords. They encounter various islands along the way. The initial stop is one of the Lone Islands where the slave trade is still practiced.

Dragon Island is where Eustace discovers his true nature. Not much happens on Burnt Island, but Deathwater Island more than makes up for that!
