The Magician's Nephew is one of the volumes in The Chronicles of Narnia. Chronologically speaking, it takes place before The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, but was published afterwards.
Digory Kirke makes friends with a neighbor girl, Polly. One day while exploring the attics of the attached houses, he and Polly accidentally enter his Uncle's room. While there, Polly is tricked by Digory's Uncle Andrew into taking a magic ring and disappears. Digory's Uncle has the other ring that will return her, and offers it to Digory, along with another ring to follow Polly. Not wanting to leave Polly in whatever place she has been sent, Digory goes to her rescue.
He finds Polly, and they decide to do a little exploring before returning, and find another World. They awaken an Evil Queen, Jadis, who manages to grab Digory and is able to return to our World with him. She causes a lot of problems, so Digory and Polly grab her to send her back. They also manage to bring a horse, the cabby, and Digory's Uncle. And their adventures continue.
I enjoyed this story, wish I had read this series when I was a child.
