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 when the mysterious package begs not to be delivered, Suzy discovers the fate of the Impossible Places might just be in her hands...

All aboard for an unforgettable journey
Rollicking entertainment.
Bursting with influences, particularly Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett, but has a crazy, pacy charm all its own.
A harum-scarum fantasy adventure crammed with quirky action.
This wickedly amusing tale of trolls and trains and physics waylaid by fuzzics, reaches out to children with its quality writing and suspenseful rip-roaring inventive adventure, but definitely speaks to adults with nods to disgruntled postal workers and train engineers.
