Kate writes to her Uncle Herbert, that she doesn't know at all, and asks for him to send her a birthday present. He sends her one the next day. A steam engine train called The Silver Arrow. She and her younger brother Tom are exploring the engine, when it begins moving. Their Uncle Herbert tries to catch up to them, but he can't. Kate and Tom arrive at a station where a bunch of animals are waiting for the train with tickets in their mouths. They said a train hasn't come by for 30 years and that the kids need to go to the yard to get other train cars. Uncle Herbert meets them there and helps them "build" their train by choosing sleeper cars, dining cars, candy cars, swimming pool cars, etc. As they embark on their journey Uncle Herbert tells them to keep a look out for the twilight star.
Lots of adventure and lessons learned about taking care of our planet, BUT not overwhelming or put me off. I really enjoyed it.
