The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

by C. S. Lewis
Australian Readers' Challenge listed title.
It has taken me many years to finally read this classic of children's literature, and it is an amazing story. Discovering the world of Narnia, just as Lucy does through the back of the wardrobe, is pretty exciting. Whilst the strong parallels to biblical stories will be clear to older readers, younger children will just enjoy the adventures of the children in this fantasy world. An excellent introduction to the world of fantasy.
