Review All aboard for an unforgettable journey. --The Sunday Express Rollicking entertainment. --The Sunday Times Bursting with influences, particularly Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett, but has a crazy, pacy charm all its own. --The Guardian Wickedly amusing tale. --The Independent A tale destined to become a classic; a rip-roaring adventure full of mystery, magic, goodies, baddies, laughs, thrills, spills… oh, and a science called fuzzics (that's physics, only fuzzier). --Lancashire Evening Post One of the most entertaining children's books of the year! --Gardners All aboard for an adventure like no other. --Kirkus A harum-scarum fantasy adventure crammed with quirky action. --The Observer This roller-coaster of a book is pacey, fun, and full of lots of fantastical new ideas. --BookTrust Endlessly imaginative, highly inventive world-building and a plot every bit as unpredictable as the train itself. --The Bookseller About the Author P.G.
