The Secret of Platform 13

by Eva Ibbotson

Under Platform13 at Kings Cross Station there is a secret door that leads to a magical island.....

It appears only once every nine years. And when it opens, four mysterious figures step into the streets of London. A wizard, an ogre, a fey and a young hag have come to find the prince of their kingdom, stolen as a baby nine years before.

But the prince has become a horrible rich boy called Raymond Trottle who doesn't understand magic and is determined not to be rescued.

'This kind of fun will never fail to delight.' Philip Pullman

Pretty good but more for the 8 to 12 year old. Fun story.
