The Chronicles of Narnia
FROM SARAH:
The gold standard of children's books. Really, I don't actually think books get better than The Chronicles of Narnia. Guaranteed to suck you and your kids in every time. Especially wonderful on audio (Audible | LibroFM).
FROM THE PUBLISHER:
Good, evil; battles, betrayals; this classic series begins with either The Magician’s Nephew, or The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe (depending on who you ask!). There are 7 books in all -- one filled with more adventure and fantasy than the next.
