She awoke and found herself in the path of Aaron McKay, who was being chased by an evil shadow creature. He pulled her along until they were safe and far away from it. Aaron took her to a train station. Ther...more

Pure, old storytelling of the best kind. I do believe Tolkien, Rowling, Collins, and Lewis may have found their match...

I loved this book. The author did such a good job with describing things, I could visualize the scenes all the way through. This is a great book, especially for the tweens.
Loved it!! There's nothing like taking a train to travel among the stars! I am partial, I know, but this is one of my favorite books.
A little hard to follow in some parts, although I think that may have been at least in some part intentional from the author. Overall a good book.

At an early age, she realized she wanted to write stories and not just read them, as exciting as reading could be.
