[0-525-45929-4]
There is a portal on platform 13 in London which opens up to
magical land.  It only opens every 9 years for 9 days.  The
books opens with a sitter bringing the magical land's prince
as a baby through the portal and he is kidnapped!  The land
has to wait the nine years to go get the prince.  The 9
years pass and two groups are sent through the portal to get
the child.  When they arrive at the house there is some
confusion about the two children living there.  There is
much adventure and action trying to get the correct child
back before the portal closes again.  This 231 page book is
a fun fantasy/adventure book. You should note that Ibbotson
is British and there are plenty of "Britishisms" in the
book.  I purchased this book because of the reference in the
title to a similar platform in Harry Potter.
