Not ideal to read as a bedtime book (6yo)

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 12 February 2021

We’re at a reading point where we’ve out grown Julia Donaldson and such each night, and need big stories to sink in to. So this review is aimed at this intermediate level before they’re reading it for themselves.

(spoilers) Read this to my train obsessed eldest (6yrs). A few sinister references to throat cutting, and teeth pulling, both which drag out over a fair number chapters so aren’t positively concluded before the bookmark is placed back and the lights go out for bedtime. There are also grammatical errors and incomplete sentences in our paperback edition.

Much preferred the first book, with more details about trains, whereas this had more detail about the journey. A little easier to work out the culprits and the crime, a tooth fairy had only visited us the day before, but makes the ending even more rewarding.

The crimes are escalating, I spotted book three is a murder 😬 likely leave that for a couple of years 😵 but likely still read it to catch up with Hal 😄.

Adventures on trains

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 20 May 2021

This is the second of the Adventures on Trains Mysteries, and Harrison Beck is on a very special trip to the USA with his Uncle Nat aboard the California Comet, travelling from Chicago to San Francisco. If you love trains, travelling or solving mysteries then this is the book for you!
My daughter and I read this book together as a bedtime story, having previously read the first mystery in the series, The Highland Falcon Thief. So this time we were ready to be detectives alongside Hal and spent our time thinking who would be kidnapped and who had done the crime! It was good to be back with the familiar characters of Uncle Nat and Hal and to meet their fellow travellers on the California Comet. The illustrations are beautiful and add so much to the story, Hal (aka Elisa Paganelli) uses his amazing artistic skills to help him solve the mystery.
This is a unique series of books which allows you to travel the world whilst you have to stay at home and is really an Agatha Christie series for the 8-12 age range. We will certainly be climbing aboard the Safari Star next, but a MURDER? Uh Oh!

When Uncle Nat arrives and asks if Harrison Beck wants to go on another train adventure it sounds like the perfect trip, he'll get to fly to America and then go on an amazing train with his uncle he loves spending time with but after the experience on Highland Falcon he knows a train journey isn't likely to be as simple as getting his ticket and just enjoying the ride.

During the trip on the California Comet we find Harrison has managed to make some friends with a few children onboard but when one of those friends disappears following a clearly witnessed kidnap can Harrison and his new friends come up with the answer to find what has happened and solve this mystery?

This is another well worked and clever story that is for children but can easily be read by adults as there is no dumbing down in the language or style of writing. There are a few little edit niggles that takes a little off the rating but overall this is a book I really did enjoy and can confirm that the other books in the series are on the kindle ready.

BRAVO

My son is an avid book reader but during lockdown it became so hard to stop him re reading a certain wizarding book series, he became stuck in a rut, refusing to read anything else. We then took part in the Scout Great Indoors Weekender Camp were Sam read the start of this book as the bedtime story. My son was hooked. He demanded I get the first book and put this on preorder. The first book was devoured in a night and then the wait began. Sadly it launched on the first day back to school so I held it back knowing it would mean a late night for him while he read, I wasn’t wrong! He is now impatiently waiting for book 3, already on preorder due out just before his birthday! A sign of a good book for me is one that he will go back and re read again and again and this is on that list.

BRAVO!

Mysterious and memorable

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 16 September 2020

The original is a thing of fabulous mystery, reminiscent of the greatest black and white mystery movies of old, but this is something entirely different and equally entertaining. Avoiding wearing the cosy British quality of the original out, the setting shift of the story to America inflates the story into something truly amazing. The characters develop and the touching relationship between Uncle Nat and Hal is so lovely, that I am always reminded of my own fabulous nephew. Read this immediately!
