Join classmates Eustace Scrubb and Jill Pole, as they escape to Narnia through a strange door! The children are met by Aslan, who gives them directions for a new adventure to find Prince Rilian and save Narnia.

The children escaped bullies only to encounter mysterious challenges and strange creatures—some more dangerous than others! Will they be able to defeat evil and find the missing prince?

Join this club to read the children’s classic fantasy, The Silver Chair—where you’ll follow along with Eustace and Jill as they journey to Underland. You and your Literary Guide, Ms. Schuett, will analyze the imagery, themes, and conflicts within the story.

About the Book

(From Amazon) Through dangers untold and caverns deep and dark, a noble band of friends is sent to rescue a prince held captive. But their mission to Underland brings them face-to-face with an evil more beautiful and more deadly than they ever expected.

Enter a land where enchantment rules in The Silver Chair, the sixth book in C. S. Lewis’s classic fantasy series. For over sixty years it has been drawing readers of all ages into a magical land with unforgettable characters. This is a complete stand-alone read, but if you want to discover what happens in the final days of Narnia, read The Last Battle, the seventh and concluding book in The Chronicles of Narnia.

Age Range – 8 and up

Parental Guidance

The Silver Chair is a children’s classic fantasy that was written by an English scholar and published in 1952, which means there are some cultural differences and dated concepts. There are a few intense scenes and themes in this story that may be challenging for young readers.

There may also be some challenging vocabulary; readers will be encouraged to bring up vocabulary words for discussion in our time together.
