Anyone who is familiar with children's books from the 1950s will be familiar with the artwork of Tibor Gergely, who painted worlds behind the story, worlds that young, curious eyes can never get enough of. Every aspect of life you can think of that might be seen from the railroad tracks of the book's subject, a caboose on a freight train, is visible through the course of the story in Gergely's paintings.

A Noghtmare Cargo Speed Across Europe…

Three agents from the United Nations Anti-Crime Organization had a mind-boggling mission: to find out who stole six kegs of plutonium from a European train. But that wasn't the end of the case. It turned out that only five kegs contained plutonium. The sixth held something even worse. Just as John Gardner has continued the work of Ian Fleming, Alastair MacNeill now maintains the excitement of Alistair Maclean.

The middle-grade answer to Christina Baker Kline's New York Times bestselling Orphan Train, this is a shockingly timely historical adventure.
 
Imagine being taken from your home. Imagine your mother is the one who lets it happen.
 
This is the fate that befalls the Kelly children. It's 1856, and their widowed mother has sent them west from New York City because she's convinced that she can't give them the life they deserve.
 
The Kellys board an "orphan train" and are taken to St. Joseph, Missouri, where their problems only grow worse. It was bad enough that they had to say goodbye to their mother, but now they're forced to part ways with their fellow siblings as well. Thirteen-year-old Frances won't stand for it. She's going to protect her brothers and sisters, even if it means dressing up like a boy and putting herself in danger.
 
Will Frances be able to save her siblings? And what about her mom--was splitting up their family really her greatest act of love? Ride the rails with Frances and her siblings to find out!
 
"This is as close to a perfect book as you'll buy this year." -VOYA

Marianne, heading west with fourteen other children on an Orphan Train, is sure her mother will show up at one of the stations along the way. When her mother left Marianne at the orphanage, hadn't she promised she'd come for her after making a new life in the West? Stop after stop goes by, and there's no sign of her mother in the crowds that come to look over the children. No one shows any interest in adopting shy, plain Marianne, either. But that's all right: She has to be free for her mother to claim her. Then the train pulls into its final stop, a town called Somewhere . . .
