Beschreibung

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).

Interesting and mysterious!

I just grabbed this book, because the story interested me. I knew it was a children's/youth book, so I didn't expect much catchiness for me as an adult. But the journey of will Everett was full of wonders, mysteries and the search of purpose, was sometimes deep and creepy, and then loud and funny. I kind of see it as a mix between the greatest showman, the polar express and willy Wonka (because of the crazy vibe). The only thing that bothered me, is that it was quite lengthy at times and I could not really get into the story then. But then, I am an adult, maybe a child, for whom this book was written, would see it otherwise.
