The Boundless, the greatest train ever built, is on its maiden voyage
across the country, and first-class passenger Will Everett is about to
embark on the adventure of his life!
When Will ends up in possession of the key to a train car containing
priceless treasures, he becomes the target of sinister figures from his
past.
In order to survive, Will must join a traveling circus, enlisting the
aid of Mr. Dorian, the ringmaster and leader of the troupe, and Maren, a
girl his age who is an expert escape artist. With villains fast on their
heels, can Will and Maren reach Will's father and save The Boundless
before someone winds up dead?
"Canadian railway history, fantasy, a flutter of romance--and a
thoughtful examination of social injustice--collide in this entertaining
swashbuckler from the author of Printz Honor-winning Airborne" (Kirkus
Reviews, starred review).
