Whether or not your summer plans include vacations and traveling, escaping into a book is another way to enjoy the adventures of a journey. These exciting stories transport readers to distant lands, making them perfect to bring along on a road trip or to read instead of embarking on one yourself! “The Horse and His Boy,” “Goose Girl,” and “Lights on the Sea” are page-turners engrossing enough to rival screen time. 
‘The Horse and His Boy’ by CS Lewis
A frequently overlooked book in C. S. Lewis’s “Chronicles of Narnia” series, “The Horse and His Boy” can be read independently of the rest of the classic series. Set not in Narnia, but in the land of Calormen, this book follows the adventures of a young boy, Shasta, who joins forces with a talking horse to flee his unloving father. Shasta is soon brought together with another child running from a life she doesn’t want, with a horse who can speak. The four head toward Narnia and freedom.
