Title: The Chronicles of Narnia - The Silver Chair
Author: C.S. Lewis
Publisher: Harper Collins Publishers
Pages: 120
I liked this one a lot better than the previous one. It had more action in it and the storytelling was more exciting. It kept me turning the pages, not to see how much more pages I had to read to finish, but to see how the story progressed. It was as if the previous book was written by someone else.
The story stars Eustace, yes, the annoying cousin from the Voyage of the Dawn Treader. He is less annoying in this story, in which he befriends a girl named Jill, who is being picked on by the school bullies. They run away from the bullies by opening a door in the wall that surrounds the school, but instead of ending in the plains behind the school, they end up on a mountain. Eustace falls over the cliff and then Jill meets Aslan, who tells her to remember 4 things andbring that to Narnia (Ten Commandments anyone?).
Jill goes to Narnia, finds Eustace and together they go on a quest to find the Prince Rillian, who is the son of King Caspian (remember him?). They get the help of a Marsh-Wiggle named Puddleglum and together they go on an adventure that brings them to the castle of Giants and a land in the depths of the earth.
I thought it was a very exciting book, as exciting as my fave of the series: The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe. The adventure is truly epic and that's exactly how these stories should be told. I, also, give this book a 8.5/10. Read it!!
