The Train to Impossible Places

"All aboard for an adventure like no other--readers will be delighted to learn it's just the first." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review

 

 

"Bell sets a smart pace, guiding Suzy smoothly through one impossibility after another in a way that keeps readers off-balance without bogging them down . . . the kind of efficiency and solid storytelling that a troll would admire--while promising potential future adventures for Suzy." --Horn Book

"A rollicking adventure . . reminiscent of Terry Pratchett and Diana Wynne Jones. There is plenty of humor to season Bell's debut novel, and the characters and plot are refreshingly well developed and raise serious questions about honor and freedom. Fortunately, there will be more adventures in this first in a projected series. All aboard!" --Booklist

 

 

"This debut fantasy is full of imaginative locales and fun twists, and readers will enjoy the creativity of Bell's world and its look at how power left unchecked can corrupt." --Publishers Weekly
