I'm always on the look out for shorter chapter books which will appeal to my newly- confident readers and this certainly ticks that bill. With realistic characters and a mystery to solve, I can see that this will spend more time in the hands of children than sitting on the book shelf which is exactly what I'm looking for. The illustrations are super and give more to talk about during discussions.
Hopefully there will be more books.

Review to come in 2 days to my blog/other places.

I received this book from the publisher/Netgalley in exchange of an honest review!

The newest book in the series and when I saw it up on Netgalley I knew I just HAD to request it! And yes! I got approved!

😍In this book we get mysteries on TRAINS! If there is one thing that I love is a good old mystery on a train! I loved reading how the train worked, see them figure out who gets which cabin/compartment to sleep in, loved reading where we stopped.
😍Finding out which historical element + person we would get this time! It is Einstein and I absolutely adored reading about him, and I laughed at the descriptions of the people who saw him. Even one of our girls couldn't believe that he was a famous person because he dressed (and looked) the way he did. Poor Einstein!
😍I loved reading why Einstein is on the train and his plans in Germany. Which then reminded me of the fact this would probably be one of the last times he would visit there, before he would go to America because of Hitler rising up and things becoming more and more dangerous for Jewish people. That just broke my heart.
😍We even meet someone who we met earlier again! We saw this person in the book Of Mountains and Motors, the second book in the series! It is quite funny how small the world is I guess that we meet him again. He wasn't too bad, I liked him way more than I did in the second book, haha.
😍Loved switching between Agatha and Christie, twins, but they couldn't be more different in some aspects. Agatha really thinks things through whereas Christie is generally the one just going for it. But I love that. They really complement each other and that works so well for their mystery cases. Plus, they are fantastic characters.
😍Auguste is here as well! So happy that he seems to be a permanent part of the mysteries.
😍The mystery and all that happened was a lot of fun and I loved the dedication of the children to get things right, even it that meant some rushing and some exciting moments. I didn't like the guys who did those things, jealousy is not a pretty thing gentlemen. I loved that even Einstein had his comments on the two guys.
😍The illustrations by Roberta Tedeschi were wonderful once again! I love her style!
😍The ending, especially the faces of the two guys at the end, that just made me laugh.
😍Getting some bonus historical information on the events that happened in this book! I just love reading those and read more on the topics we saw in the book + how the author came to write the story.

😶I did think it was a bit odd that what Einstein told along with what Christie found out that the kids would put one and one together but it took them a really long time and I found that a bit of a shame. Given everything I would think that as soon as Christie told the kids about the crates being in that room that Agatha would have put it together and that they knew instantly what the items were/whose crates they were.

As you can see, this was another fantastic addition to the series and boy I loved it all the way! I would recommend it to everyone!

Thank you so much to Sweet Cherry Publishing and Netgalley for the ebook to read and review.

Agatha, Christie, Auguste and their mother Clara are on the Green Express train that takes them to Paris and has a stop to split and change to Germany. Some confusion happens as they get kicked out of their own train car, but something is suspicious with the men that took it, the girls are on the case instantly.

This was so much fun. I always love the mysteries with these girls so this was no exception it was incredibly fun and such an interesting way to have a mystery on a moving train, with mysterious crates in their train car. Christie wasn’t expecting a big mystery on her exciting train ride but she still had a great time solving it.

I loved the introduction to the bad guys, how they each found them in different places and at different times and had to piece it all together. I really liked the inclusion of the two scientists of that era and how the girls met both and found out what one was doing to the other. I liked that they did it all just in time, it was a close one for time.

I enjoyed the unique mystery and trying to solve it as the girls went along. It was really fun the way that they each got a piece of the mystery and got to put it together. I also really enjoyed that we got to meet an old nemesis, that really was just a beaten down young lad, but he ended up being helpful and a part of the team which was great.

As always the illustrations in these books are stunning and I always adore them, from the setting and location, to the outfits, to the characters they are so perfect, they capture every aspect of the era so perfectly. I will always adore looking at the illustration in this series.

What a wonderful addition to this series and another absolutely fun adventure mystery. I love this series and love seeing what the twins get up to next. If you haven’t read this series then you really need too as they are seriously so much fun. If you’ve read other in this series you need to read this one, it was such an incredibly fun addition.
