All aboard for the first journey in the bestselling Train to Impossible Places Adventures, with magic at every stop.
Shortlisted for the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize, the Branford Boase Award and the IBW Book Awards, with dazzling illustrations from Flavia Sorrentino, join Suzy on this magical adventure, where the journey will never, ever take you where you expect it to.
When Suzy hears a strange noise in the middle of the night, she creeps downstairs to find a train roaring through her house. But this is no ordinary train. This is the magical delivery express for The Union of Impossible Places.
Whisked onboard by a troll-boy, Suzy’s world is turned upside down when she’s asked to deliver a cursed package to a fearsome sorceress. And quite suddenly, Suzy realizes the fate of the Impossible Places is in her hands…
Except when the mysterious package begs not to be delivered, Suzy discovers the fate of the Impossible Places might just be in her hands…
""Great fun!"" Philip Reeve, author of Mortal Engines

i read about this train crashing into this girl’s house . It was exciting how Suzy and Fletch traveled into Trollvile. They captured the old lady’s brother and turned him into a frog. I liked Wilmot because he saved Suzy and took her to many places. I would like to recommend this to someone because it is a very interesting story.

I liked Suzy the best because she helped the trolls while they delivered the post. I recommend this book to people who are From 9 to 12.

I would recommend this book to people who like action. It gets you very locked in to the book from the start. It gradually gets more and more exciting. There is a colossal building of excitement in the book. P.G Bell and Flavia Sorrentino are both geniuses.
