The Train to Impossible Places (Train to Impossible Places #1) (Train to Impossible Places Adventures)

Product Information

I love reading middle grade books as an adult but can't help but feel disappointed when there is not a lot of adult humour within it. Overall, as I said, it was okay: the fantasy elements were fun, I liked the main character and Wilmot was just adorable; the setting and the general plot were good enough, but nothing extraordinary. This rattles along at top-speed and features one of the most varied cast of characters since Hogwarts welcomed young Potter. The villain sets off after George and Harold, who are in juvie (“not much different from our old school…except that they have library books here. A cast of unforgettable characters includes a brown bear that is yellow (she’s a blonde), underwater ghosts, and a group of overexcited retired postal trolls.

Train to Impossible Places, The: A Cursed Delivery Hardcover

With her parents asleep, Suzy joins the troll crew of the train on an adventure that will change the course of her life forever.G Bell was trying to tell his younger audiences that there were times where we relied on letters to send a word to someone. This was cute, but even had I read it at a young age I don’t think it would have been my cup of tea. When Suzy hears a strange noise in the middle of the night, she creeps downstairs to find a train roaring through her house. Simple, spare illustrations offer just enough glimpses of Roz and her surroundings to spark the imagination.

Like other middle grade books, The Train to Impossible Places has the classic theme; the truth will always prevail.If I’m being honest, the lack of world building is the reason why I didn’t give this book a higher rate.

I love trains, always have, and any story that takes place (or, at least partly takes place) on a train immediately grabs my attention. The climactic confrontation pits oceangoing mammals, seabirds, fish, and even zooplankton against hardware and technology in a nicely choreographed battle. But I wont give anything away, only to say that I did at the end of the book felt that I wanted more, and another instalment to drop through the letterbox then and there. I loved the original plot, as well as the twists and turns that kept me going to the end and did not disappoint.
