January 2019 Debut of the Month
The first of a great new series featuring Suzy and the magical delivery express for the Union of Impossible Places.
It’s not every day that a magical train drives through your hallway but that’s what happens to Suzy at the opening of this terrific adventure story. She discovers it’s the Impossible Postal Express, responsible for making deliveries throughout the Union of Impossible Places. Being something of a scientist, and deeply inquisitive, Suzy can’t let this opportunity pass and climbs aboard. It’s not long before she’s been deputized as a Postal Operative (by the troll in charge), which in turn embroils her in an even bigger adventure, and one of those magical good versus evil power struggles that are central to all the best fantasy adventures. This rattles along at top-speed and features one of the most varied cast of characters since Hogwarts welcomed young Potter. Fans of magical stories mustn’t miss this train!
Shortlisted for The Branford Boase Award 2019 | January 2019 Debut of the Month
One to recommend to fans of Nevermoor and The Last Chance Hotel .
