About this deal

Pan Macmillan) Harrison Beck can barely contain his excitement to be on the tracks with his railway writing, globetrotting uncle, Nathaniel Bradshaw. Ross Montgomery, author of Perijee and Me Wildly funny, with hairpin plot bends and inventive characters, this series is firmly on track to become a bestseller. Fans of Agatha Christie, or, more recently, Robin Stevens and Katherine Woodfine, should adore this mystery which makes a steam trail all of its own.

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. He works as a digital project manager for the National Theatre, where he also hosts and co-produces their podcast.Before writing stories for children, he worked as a playwright, journalist, and digital producer, and founded a company making murder mystery treasure hunts for adventurous Londoners.

Yesterday a parent came over to tell me how impressed she was by the book fair and that you did a fabulous job of selling the books to the children first. Another exciting mystery starring Harrison "Hal" Beck and his Uncle Nat, but this time we have gone stateside! Join Hal and Uncle Nat on more stops in this thrilling series with: The Highland Falcon Thief, Murder on the Safari Star, Danger at Dead Man's Pass and Sabotage on the Solar Express. As a grown up, she has written stories about fantastical beetles, beautiful birds and thrilling train rides.We first met Hal and his Uncle Nat in last year’s first ‘Adventure on Trains’, The Highland Falcon Thief (you can read my review of that here) and I have been looking forward to this second adventure ever since! I was at my last school for 4 years and we had ********* book fairs every term – and every term, I was disappointed by the narrow range of books. Along with new friends—spunky 13-year-old Mason and his younger sister, Hadley—Hal races against the clock to find the missing girl before the California Comet reaches its final destination. In this book’s adventure, Harrison is aboard the beautiful, iconic California Comet, with the aim of interviewing a battery billionaire. He grew up with a railway line at the bottom of his garden and has been fascinated by trains ever since.

After his adventure on the Highland Falcon, amateur sleuth Hal Beck is excited to embark on another journey with his journalist uncle. This experience has been fantastic primarily for the children, the school and also for me (professionally).
