The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
Lucy and Edmund, with their dreadful cousin Eustace, get magically pulled into a painting of a ship at sea. That ship is the Dawn Treader, and on board is Caspian, King of Narnia. He and his companions, including Reepicheep, the valiant warrior mouse, are searching for seven lost lords of Narnia, and their voyage will take them to the edge of the world. Their adventures include being captured by slave traders, a much-too-close encounter with a dragon, and visits to many enchanted islands, including the place where dreams come true.

This series should be read in order.
'The Chronicles of Narnia', by C.S. Lewis, is one of those rare series that should be read at least three times: in childhood, early adulthood, and again late in life. Each time, something new will be gained from this fantastical world and the colourful characters who inhabit it. Narnia is a world where all visitors have an important role to play and everything is far more than it seems. Richly told, populated with fascinating characters, perfectly realised in detail of world and pacing of plot, the story is infused throughout with the timeless issues of good and evil, faith and hope.
