The Silver Chair
by C.S. Lewis

Witches, talking animals, enchantments, mystical creatures if you like those then read The Silver Chair. It is the sixth book of C.S. Lewis' seven-book fantasy masterpiece The Chronicles of Narnia.

The main characters are Eustace Scrubb, Jill Poll, and Puddleglum. Eustace is the cousin of the Pevensies- Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy who are characters throughout the Narnia series. Eustace was also in the previous book The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Jill is a young girl who is about the same age has Eustace and she is a new character in the series. Puddleglum is a marsh- wiggle who always points out the negative and has the most experience travelling in the Wild Lands of the North.
The story begins in a school in  England but most of the book is in the Wild Lands of the North, which is north of Narnia, a land in a magical world.

It was just another boring day at the Experiment House (a school in England) when Eustace and Jill find themselves in a forest. Then, Eustace falls off a cliff. Then, Aslan the great lion tells Jill four signs to find a lost prince. Jill got to Narnia but she didn’t get the first sign right so they would not get the help they would have gotten. So, a bunch of owls tell Eustace and Jill of the story about the lost prince. Then, the owls bring Eustace and Jill to a marsh-wiggle named Puddleglums.
From there, they travelled in the Wild Lands of the North and met two strangers one who is the Lady of the Green Kirtle the other one is a man in black armour. The Lady told them about a kingdom called Harfang inhabited by giants. So, Eustace and Jill want to go to Harfang but Puddleglums does not want to go. On their way there, Jill falls in a trench but, Puddleglums and Eustace get her out. Along the way to Harfang, Jill sees things that look like factory chimneys but she didn't care.
When they got to Harfang, they were well treated. In the night, Jill woke up and saw Aslan and he showed Jill the second and the third signs. Jill woke and she thought  it had been a dream. But when Puddleglums, Eustace, and Jill looked out of the window they saw the second and the third signs too. They wanted to get out of Harfang. When the giant King and Queen were out for a hunt, Puddleglums, Eustace, and Jill were eating. They found out that the meat they were eating had been a talking stag. Later they were in the kitchen they saw a recipe for man pie and a  recipe for marsh- wiggle pie.

Will they ever find the lost prince? Will they ever get out of Harfang? And will they ever be eaten by the giants? Read this book to find out.

What I like about this book is that it has a lot of adventure. It is a fantasy book and I have liked fantasy books since I was about 6. The book also has a little bit of humour,  is really exiting, has great choice of vocabulary, and has tons of dialogue. 

My favourite passage is on pages 40 and 41. I chose this passage because it has a lot of hilarious dialogue. I find it humourous because the Lord Regent Trumpkin the dwarf has lost some of his hearing so Glinfeather the owl has to explain to Trumpkin why Jill and Eustace are in Narnia. But the dwarf is misunderstanding everything Glinfeather is trying to say to him. I think the target audience is girls and boys and ages about nine and up. Ages six and up might like to listen to the CD audio story like me.
I hope I convince you to read The Silver Chair. So read this book, no seriously read this book because it's a really good.
