The book, the magician’s nephew, which I am reading at the moment, is about two little kids, a boy and a girl, that live near London.
Like all the kids, also these two like adventures and they find a secret corridor between two houses. At the end of this corridor, they find the boy's uncle’s secret study room, in that he is hiding in all day and nobody knows what he is doing in there. Opening the door, they find the boy’s uncle. He is forcing them to go in another world that he said he discovered. On that journey they find out that there is a world between a whole bunch of other worlds, which are hidden behind paddles. To get in these worlds they need two different colored rings.
As far as is read the story, it reminds me on my dreams that I always had when I was a child. I always wished that I could just disappear sometimes and go to another world, where everything is different, and discover it. Reading the book makes me feel like a child again. I really want to know what else is going to happen in the story. Whether they are discovering new worlds and how these are going to be like. Maybe some of the worlds are the same as the ones that I always imagined when I was younger.
In the story, I especially liked the part when the “middle world” was described. The author used a lot of metaphors and so I can imagine this place really good and reading it makes me feel like I an right there. It is such a quiet and peaceful place, where you feel relaxed and satisfied and nothing seems to be changing that.

Puddles (not paddles) :-)
Have you read The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe? I can't remember if it comes before or after The Magician's Nephew. That was the book that I read when I was younger, and it had me imagining other worlds I could travel to.
I would have liked you to include examples of the metaphors you mentioned, to support what you had to say.
