For lovers of detective fiction for children like The Murder Most Unladylike Series and Clockwork Sparrow series this is an exciting adventure for children set onboard a steam train.


Harrison accompanies his steam train journalist Uncle on a steam train to Scotland En route he meets Lenny (a stowaway) and jewels are stolen. Can they both find out who the thief is or are they the thieves?

One of the most interesting parts was when Harrison goes up into the cabin and finds out how a steam train works.
This is a classy adventure story.. For me it was a good example of its genre but I personally think that maybe people won't request this book in a few years. However I am an adult and to counter that , I recommended it to a young customer one day and the next day he was back having finished the book by torchlight under the covers. What better recommendation is there?

There is a sample chapter of the next book and he wanted to know when that was out too
