Publisher's Synopsis
Welcome to my first "ALL ABOARD" children's 3-book series involving trains and true events in the early 1900's. Luke and Summer live a couple blocks from the train depot in the small mining town of Wallace, Idaho. Because their daddy is a train conductor for the Northern Pacific Railroad, Luke and Summer recognize every train that rolls through their little mountain community. Some trains carry silver and gold from the local mines and others carry people to and from Wallace. In Book 1, The Scary Train Ride, Luke is pressed into service to help with a daring rescue of his family and the people of Wallace. The grand adventure involves a forest fire, a burning bridge and the race to safety on a train. This story is based on an actual true event involving the 1910 forest fire and a Northern Pacific train. Because the Bible and Jesus was the heart of many families in early American history, the Christian value of "faith" has been incorporated into the story. And please don't forget to check out the educational "Fun facts" at the end of the book. Happy "rail" reading!
