- Synopsis
- A train that carries its passengers over the frontiers of time ... Three people who ride this train into the eerily familiar regions of their own pasts ... Brian, fifteen, is the one who first stumbles across the peculiar phenomenon--the railway line that was never there before, the station platform that appeared out of nothing, the guard who answers in riddles. It is Brian who makes the first amazing trip and who travels most freely between present-day life and the extraordinary confusion of being witness to his own childhood. Danger surrounds such surrealistic adventuring, and a change in the return-trip schedule threatens disaster for Brian and his friends, Wendy and Mr. Mincing. Richard Parker, author of over thirty books, has a remarkable talent for creating believable people and deceptively realistic, quiet home life scenes that edge so convincingly into fantasy that even the most skeptical cannot avoid becoming entangled. The line between fantasy and reality blurs, and for readers, as well as for Brian and his friends, there may never again be so clear-cut a division between time-present and time-past.
