Cowell, author of How to Train Your Dragon Fourth in the
modern-classic and bestselling bookwandering series for readers
aged eight to twelve that celebrates all that is best in life:
books, adventure, friendship – and cake. Milo lives on board the
Sesquipedalian, or “Quip” – a magical train that uses the
power of imagination to travel through both Story and the real
world. The train is owned by Milo’s uncle, Horatio, and Milo has
witnessed many of his uncle’s dodgy dealings as a book smuggler
trading in rare books. When Horatio takes on a dangerous new job,
he needs the help of Tilly Pages. And Tilly owes Horatio a favour.
But when poisoned copies of The Wizard of Oz are sent to Horatio
and Tilly's grandfather, sending them both into deep sleeps, Milo
and Tilly find themselves racing against time to save them – and
to figure out what is going on. Their journey takes them to the
Emerald City with Dorothy, rocketing on the unruly Quip, and
eventually to Venice in Italy, in pursuit of the mysterious
Alchemist. The very essence of imagination, story itself, may be in
danger . . .
