If your kids liked the Narnia books, they will also love Coville's INTO THE LAND OF THE UNICORNS! I promise!

From back cover:
EIGHT! ... NINE!... TEN!...
As each chime sounds, Cara climbs faster up the steep bell tower. Eleven! She must be on the roof when the next bell tolls. As she races up the stairs, Cara can't believe everything that has happened. Wasn't it just a few minutes ago that she and Grandmother Morris were peacefully walking home from the library? When did that mysterious man start to follow them. What does he want? Where did he come from? Who is he? Twelve! The ringing bell brings Cara back to the moment. Gramma told her what she must do! With a deep breath, and only half believing she will survive, Cara jumps off the church roof and into the adventure of her lifetime--into Luster, land of the unicorns.

In Luster, Cara meets the Dimblethum, the Squijum, and the most magnificent of all the inhabitants, Lightfoot, a rebellious young unicorn. Together the new friends set out on a quest--to reach the Unicorn Queen and prevent the destruction of all unicorns.
