The Chronicles of Narnia - Book II - The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe

Book II in this series is about four young people, two brothers and two sisters, to embark on a jerney into Narnia by way of a wardrobe in an old house. One of the brothers named Edmond, meets up with the white witch, and soon leanrs she's not as nice as she pretends to be. The others, meet up with Aslan, and plan to free Edmond from the witch and take back Narnia from under her evil spell of winter. Aslan sacrifices himself in Edmond's place, but returns to life and assists the children in defeating the White Witch.
The children are then made kings and queens, and they rule over Narnia for many years. At the end of the story, they are following a great Stag, and wind up back where their adventure first started. They unwittingly re-enter the wardrobe and transform from adults, back into children. It's a fantastic story of good being triumphant over evil. If you haven't read this one, go ahead and do so. It's the first book C. S. Lewis has written in the Narnia series, but chronologically, it comes after the Magician's Nephew.
