Jill's Adventures in Narnia
The Silver Chair
Jill Pole first shows up in The Silver Chair. She and her friend Eustace Scrubb go to the same school. One day, while running from bullies at school, they suddenly find themselves in Aslan's Country, a magical place beyond the sun.
Aslan, the great lion, sends Jill and Eustace to Narnia. Their important mission is to find the kidnapped Prince Rilian. He is the son of King Caspian X. Jill and Eustace get help from a funny swamp-creature called Puddleglum. At first, Jill doesn't like Puddleglum much, thinking he's a bit of a complainer. But soon, she realizes he is very brave and wise.
During their journey, Jill has to overcome her fears, like being afraid of small, closed spaces and the dark. Aslan gives her four special signs to remember, which will guide them on their quest. When Jill gets distracted by tasty food and a chance to rest, she forgets the signs. This leads the group into danger with man-eating giants!
Later, after they find Prince Rilian and defeat the evil Emerald Witch, Jill uses her horse-riding skills to control the witch's horse, Snowflake. She is also the first one to find the way out of the Underland, leading them back to Narnia. Jill even saves her cool Narnian clothes to wear at fancy parties back in England!
The Last Battle
Jill and Eustace are called back to Narnia to help King Tirian. Narnia is in trouble because of a fake Aslan and an invasion by the Calormene people. First, Jill and Eustace free King Tirian, who is tied to a tree.
Then, the three of them sneak into a Narnian army camp. They put on Calormene disguises and go back to Stable Hill. There, they free Jewel the Unicorn. Jill then disobeys the king's orders and goes into the Stable. Inside, she discovers Puzzle the Donkey, who was pretending to be Aslan! Jill becomes Puzzle's friend and saves him from being punished by King Tirian.
During the final battle, Jill fights bravely with her bow and arrow. She defeats several Calormene soldiers, even though she is sad that Narnia is about to end. Later, she goes through the stable door and enters Aslan's Country with the others. Jill becomes one of the Queens of Narnia, alongside Polly and Lucy. Eustace becomes a King, just like Digory, Peter, and Edmund.
It's not completely clear how Jill and Eustace got to Aslan's Country. It might have been because they were in a train crash that took the lives of many others, or Aslan might have simply brought them there with his magic.
