The Secret of Platform 13

(4) 4-6 A complicated fantasy predicates an Atlantis-like island ruled by a beloved monarchy and populated by various magical creatures. When the island's baby prince is kidnapped, a troupe of the magical creatures attempts to rescue him. The star of the show is the young hag, Odge Gribble, whose ingenuity wins out in the end. Amusing at times but very British and a trifle long.
