The Silver Chair

Book 6 in the Chronicles of Narnia follows Eustace and a school mate of his named Jill into Narnia in order to help find King Caspian X's son who has gone missing and has been missing or the last decade or so. 

Jill gets instructions from Aslan to help find Prince Rilian. But Jill and Eustace don't follow the instructions at times very well and are forced go about things in round about ways. They travel on owls backs, brave the cold, run from giants, and find themselves in the deep, dark hollows of the earth with the help of a new friend. 

It is an interesting story about how important it is to follow the instructions we are give. Aslan gave them specific instructions that they needed to remember--though sometimes forgot--and although they didn't often go down the path Aslan originally intended for them, other ways were provided to get their objectives accomplished. Just like God does for us. 

It isn't particularly my favorite book in the series, but it is a good read that expands the Narnian world with a good moral.
