The Secret of Platform 13 by Eva Ibbotson

4.0

My son and I just finished this one as a read-aloud, and once we got into it, really enjoyed it. A secret island, wizards and hags, a stolen prince, and a race against time add up to an exciting and magical adventure. Appropriate for middle-grade readers, either to read independently or to enjoy out loud as a bedtime story.
