The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis, chapter book, ages 10 & up. Book two in the Chronicles of Narnia series, originally published 1950.
Rating: Five stars
The story opens in World War II London, during the Blitz, and the reader follows four siblings on their way to safety at the professor's house in the English countryside. During a game of hide and seek Lucy, the youngest of the children, discovers the magical land of Narnia. The adventurous story that follows is written in a Biblical-allegorical style. The children are told that they are supposed to defeat the White Witch. But will they?
