From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Magicians comes a wholly original middle-grade debut perfect for fans of The Chronicles of Narnia and Roald Dahl. Kate, who has never met her wealthy Uncle Herbert, writes to him on the eve of her birthday, hoping for a present. She and her younger brother Tom lead dull lives, feeling stifled by their mundane existence and uninspiring parents. Kate longs for thrilling adventures like those in her favorite books. Her 11th birthday seems destined to be uneventful until Uncle Herbert surprises her with an extraordinary gift: a colossal steam locomotive named the Silver Arrow. While their parents want to return it, Kate and Tom have other plans, spurred on by the locomotive's own mysterious intentions. They embark on a journey to distant lands along magical railways, accompanied by a host of talking animals. Armed with curiosity, excitement, and their resourcefulness, Kate and Tom find themselves on an adventure of a lifetime. Along the way, they may just discover their potential to save the world. This enchanting tale will not only entertain young readers but also inspire them to view the world around them with wonder and excitement.
