Embark on a thrilling fourth adventure in the bestselling,
prize-winning Adventures on Trains series - Danger at Dead Man's
Pass, from M. G. Leonard and Sam Sedgman, as Harrison Beck
investigates an ancient family curse high in the German mountains.
Illustrated in black-and-white throughout by Elisa Paganelli. A
mysterious letter from an old friend asks Hal and Uncle Nat to help
investigate a spooky supernatural mystery. Legend has it the
Kratzensteins, a family of rich and powerful railway tycoons, are
cursed, but there is no such thing as a curse, is there . . .? Hal
and Nat take the night train to Berlin and go undercover. From a
creaking spooky old house at the foot of the Harz mountains, they
take the Kratzenstein family's funeral train to the peak of the
Brocken Mountain. Can Hal uncover the secrets of the Brocken
railway and the family curse before disaster strikes? Danger at
Dead Man's Pass can be read as a stand-alone novel, or enjoyed as
part of the Adventures on Trains series. Join Hal and Uncle Nat on
more stops in this thrilling series with: The Highland Falcon

The British railway system is the oldest in the world. This
fascinating book describes the early days in the British railway

It is 1937 and tensions are high. A spectacular air race around
Europe seeks to promote unity among a group of young pilots, but
distrust and animosity are rife. The British and sole female
contestant, Stella North, is determined to prove not only her
skill, but also her identity as her Nansen passport declares her
'stateless'. However, barely a few hours in, Stella is witness to a
horrifying attack when a contestant's plane is forced out of the
air and crashes. Was this the work of another competitor desperate
to win? Was the attack random or premeditated and, most
importantly, will it happen again? With the competition heating up
and the death ruled an accident, Stella is left to form her own
investigation. Can she find allies among her fellow competitors or
will suspicion and deceit bring them all down? An exhilarating rush
of a novel, with all the twists and turns we've come to expect from
the award-winning Elizabeth Wein.
