Christopher subsequently added further books to the series.

This was an okay story, but I have to say that Edward behaved very out of character (I may well be being picky) but Edward was always the voice of reason, and very nice to everybody, so it seemed really weird that he would be rude to a crane just because he doesn't have his own engine! So not like Edward at all!
