Hope you don't mind me sharing this new review from Amazon :) 'This book is the story of two fourteen year old boys who find themselves transported into a realm of magic and nightmare.

Yes, it is in print. If you check out the webpage it has info about where it's available, although to be honest you can get it most places. And yes, Narnia was an influence, although I think it's fair to say The Magic Lands is a very different kind of book. But the influence is there. Along with lot...
