P. G. Bell's Delivery to the Lost City is the thrilling conclusion of the Train to Impossible Places trilogy, a magical middle-grade adventure.
When the Impossible Postal Express is charged with returning an overdue library book, Suzy Smith looks forward to a nice, simple delivery–just the thing she needs to convince her anxious parents to let her keep her job on the train.
So she’s less than thrilled to discover that not only is the book alive, it’s full of a growing and dangerous magic. Worse still, the world to which it belongs is missing, and Suzy and her friends will have to use all their ingenuity to find it.
Suzy must help a fledgling rebellion seize power, return the book to its rightful owner, and get home before her parents ground her for life.
The conclusion to the Train to Impossible Places trilogy promises to be the most adventurous yet.
What a fantastic ending to a brilliant series. I can't believe it all ends here; there are so many more adventures for Suzy and her friends to go on.
PG has managed to pull together all the lingering threads, crafting a wonderful story that brings everyone to an ending that suits them. It's full of even more imaginative worlds and strange races, although no one made the one connection I was expecting! I don't want to spoil anyone, so I won't mention it here.
This book has all the humour and comedy you can expect from this series. The new sidekick is brilliant, as is the new ally they make near the end. I'm going to repeat myself; I can't believe this is the end. Although no threads are left dangling, there's plenty of space for new stories and new adventures. But maybe PG wants to move on to a new world. I will definitely be waiting to read it, because it's going to be absolutely amazing.
