This is the story of a young girl named Kate who uncle gives her a train for her birthday. Not a tiny toy train but an actual train. Their talking animals, talking train, and amazing train cars that the kids asked for and are just added to the train. One of course is a library car and i all for hanging out there one day. The story moves along at a nice clip and the entire can be listened to in just under four hours. Which if your middle grade age is just perfect. There also the suggestion that maybe their more books like this coming in the future which would be nice. A great addition to middle grade adventures.
