The book continues the story of Eustace, and introduces his friend and classmate Jill Scrubb. They are brought to Narnia just in time to save them from a brutal beating from fellow classmates. Aslan explains that Caspian's son, Prince Rilian, had been kidnapped 10 years ago, and must be found before his father dies. He gives Jill four signs to follow in order to find Rilian, and off they go. With the help of a marsh-wiggle named Puddleglum, they journey through the giants' kingdom and into underland to find an enchanted Prince Rilian kept captive by the Lady of the Green Kirtle. After a battle, they're successful in their quest, and return to the castle just in time.
I liked the addition of a new main character. It was done much more smoothly (with Eustace, who appeared before) than in The Horse and His Boy.
Netflix rating? 4/5 stars.
