Product description
All aboard for the first journey in the bestselling Train to Impossible Places Adventures, with magic at every stop.
Shortlisted for the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize, the Branford Boase Award and the IBW Book Awards, with dazzling illustrations from Flavia Sorrentino, join Suzy on this magical adventure, where the journey will never, ever take you where you expect it to.
When Suzy hears a strange noise in the middle of the night, she creeps downstairs to find a train roaring through her house. But this is no ordinary train. This is the magical delivery express for The Union of Impossible Places.
Whisked onboard by a troll-boy, Suzy’s world is turned upside down when she’s asked to deliver a cursed package to a fearsome sorceress. And when the mysterious package begs not to be delivered, Suzy discovers the fate of the Impossible Places might just be in her hands…
“Great fun!” Philip Reeve, author of Mortal Engines

THE BEST BOOK
This is one of the best books I have ever read!
It is action-packed and exciting. I almost wish it would never end.
