Description
'"Stand firm'" said Peter, "and wave like mad!"'
They were not railway children to begin with. When their Father mysteriously leaves home Roberta (everyone calls her Bobbie), Phyllis and Peter must move to a small cottage in the countryside with Mother. It is a bitter blow to leave their London home, but soon they discover the hills and valleys, the canal and of course, the railway. But with the thrilling rush and rattle and roar of the trains comes danger too. Will the brave trio come to the rescue? And most importantly, can they solve the disappearance of their Father?
BACKSTORY: Find out all about steam trains and learn what it was really like to be a child in Edwardian times.

Advance Praise
The Railway Children was one of the first children's classics I
ever read. I wasn't sure I was going to enjoy it. I started reading the
story and was immediately gripped. E. Nesbit remembered exactly what it
felt like to be a child
Jacqueline Wilson
It's a story that was written more than 100 years ago, yet The Railway Children commands the affections of the British people like few other fictions
