I was listening to a book with my niece on NPR in 1980, it was about a kid staying with his/her grandparents or aunt/uncle. Upon exploring the house he/she finds a painting. To look at it closer a candle is lit and he/she is transported to an island. I have looked everywhere for this book please help!
Stump the Bookseller
New format, same book stumper solving.
It sounds very similar to the beginning of “The Voyage of the Dawn Treader”, a Narnia book by C.S. Lewis, except that there are three children, and they’re transported to a ship, not an island. They subsequently visit lots of islands, though.
