Synopsis

Discover the magical, timeless, bestselling children’s adventure series from Lev Grossman
It’s been a year since Kate and Tom became conductors on the Great Intercontinental Railway, and life has changed completely! Delivering animal passengers to their rightful habitats using their very own secret steam train, The Silver Arrow, is exciting and magical and fulfilling.

Until one day a new and mysterious train almost rams them off the track! Its name? The Golden Swift. Kate catches a glimpse of the conductors. They’re children, like them, and they’re dropping animals off at all the wrong stations!
Kate is determined to catch up with their rivals and confront them. Her actions will lead to an adventure bigger than she could have dreamed of, racing through the highlands of Western Scotland, diving down deep into the oceans on a magical submarine, meeting a talking tortoise, and finding out about a whole new way to offer endangered animals safe and lasting homes –

Lev Grossman is the bestselling author of the critically acclaimed Magicians trilogy, which has also become a successful TV series. Previously a journalist who interviewed the likes of Neil Gaiman and J.K. Rowling, The Silver Arrow and its follow up, The Golden Swift, are his first forays into writing for children.
