Hmmm it kinda has a chronicles of narnia feel to it . . .but with a scifantasy twist . ..

Callie is the main character and she gets goaded into going to this psychological experiment with a friend and it turns out to be more than she bargained for she ends up having to fight for her life . . . .

That's all I can tell you without spoiling it

Go read it!!

I really enjoyed Victor Hugo's The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Most stuff by Isaac Asimov is good, too.
