Read the full description
Izzy and friends are excited to find that their school trip involves an overnight train ride. But when they get on board, they're shocked to discover that EVERYTHING is STRANGE. And the BUNK BEDS are TINY! And then their teacher disappears... OH NO! Miss Jones has been kidnapped! EVERYONE PANIC!!!
The Editor’s from Nosy Crow says “Another hilarious tale of primary-school imaginations running out of control and no adult being able to stop them. Long may it continue!"
Pamela Butchart lives in Dundee with her baby boy and their two awesome cats, Bear & Carlos. If she wasn't working as a writer and a teacher she'd like to open a luxury hotel for stray cats.
As a child, Pamela was lucky enough to grow up in a house full of pets and go to a primary school where lots of spooky and weird things happened (well, in her imagination at least). As a student, Pamela's student jobs included: fishwife, teaching basketball in America, phlebotomist and Artist Liaison for a (really bad) Abba tribute band.
Her top selling stories include The Spy Who Loved School Dinners which won the Blue Peter Best Story Award and My Head Teacher is a Vampire Rat which won The Children's Book Award. Two of her books, Petunia Perry and the Curse of the Ugly Pigeon and There's a Werewolf in My Tent , were shortlisted for the Lollies - the Laugh Out Loud Awards.

I knew from the first page that I wouldn’t be able to put the book down, it had me hooked!
The story is about Izzy, Zach, Maisie and Jodi going on a school trip on an overnight sleeper train but this is no ordinary school trip. Some mysterious things are happening onboard the train. Will the children be able to find out who stole Gary Petrie’s Tesco’s Finest Crisps and who is the hooded figure?
I knew from the first page that I wouldn’t be able to put the book down, it had me hooked! Even after reading it once, I could read it again and again. I loved all the characters, especially Maisie, who faints at anything. This book is hilariously funny and will keep you hooked too.
I would recommend this book to adults and children who like to laugh a lot.... Read Full Review
A really fun mystery and adventure book!
Izzy and her friends go on the sleeper train overnight and someone has stolen their spending money, and even worse they have stolen her friend Gary's Tesco Finest crisps! There is a hooded figure on board and Izzy and her friends need to solve the mystery! My favourite bit was when Gary says "Oh no! My Tesco Finest crisps!" because it was really funny. I really like mystery books, especially when the children have to fathom it out. All the characters were funny and I could imagine me and my friends being like them. I liked the illustrations and the way the writing changed.... Read Full Review
