Guest Post!

As we all know, I'm not posting enough, so I've brought in a guest blogger. She wants to remain anonymous, so she's writing under the name Gertrude Millicent Wigglesworth.

This month she brings you part one of a book review:

The Silver Chair is probably the most unusual book in the series of Narnia. It involves none of the four characters usually associated with Narnia: Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy. Instead, the story involves their cousin Eustace Clarence Scrubb (a name as awful as mine!) who has already been to Narnia once before. He is joined by a girl named Jill, a fellow schoolmate who as never been to Narnia.

They are both taken off to Narnia in a most unusual way. And once there they are almost immediately separated. With no idea where Eustace is, Jill is given a quest by Aslan to find Prince Rilian. Jill is also given four signs to help her on her way. Aslan then helps her reunite with Eustace. And they miss the first sign, which would have guaranteed them an easier journey. The next sign tells them to find the ruined city of giants. To set out on this leg of their journey they are joined by Puddleglum the Marsh-wiggle. On their way to the city they get sidetracked, and almost end up being served or dinner by giants! They manage to escape and find the ruined city.

Expect more from Miss Wigglesworth next month!
