Book Review By Michael JR Jose
The Silver Chair - Chronicles of Narnia 6 by C.S. Lewis

Part of the Narnia series, 'The Silver Chair' should be read after the 'Voyage of the Dawn Treader', and before 'The Last Battle'. Our heroes are Eustace Scrubb (who first entered Narnia from the adventure in the
'Voyage of the Dawn Treader'), and Jill Pole. Their quest is to find Rilian, son of King Caspian, and the long lost prince of Narnia. On the way there are giants, many hardships, and the dangerous kingdom of a underground
world which few suspect. To succeed they must follow the signs that Aslan has given to Jill. But will they be able to remember them? Will they be brave enough to follow them?
