This book is cleverly written and it is obvious that Lou Kuenzler must also love E. ![]() Well I wasn’t! I read this book in a day as I was taken back to that those days when I first read The Railway Children. Even though I wanted to read this book so much I was also a little scared as I really didn’t want to be disappointed. I was so impressed that someone had decided to take on and write a sequel to such a popular classic, to me that is brave and it had to be done just right. ![]() When I saw this book ‘The a Return of the Railway Children’ at my recent Scholastic Book Fair I had to have it. I first read the classic novel ‘The Railway Children’ as a child with my mum as she knew I would enjoy it, yes she was right and I have still have the copy that belonged to my grandma as a child. ![]()
