Suzy is back and this time it is a very important postal delivery! Something that sucks out words!
In this new book Suzy is going to a city that is lost! A special delivery needs to be made and it is a quest again time!
I was just so excited to find this book at my library! They are really spotty on adding English books, especially with series, so I was delighted that I could finally read Suzy’s next adventure!
In this one a book is eating words, it is overdue and that its curse. A whole library is eaten! Suzy has her parents with her as they really wanted to come and keep an eye on her. There is a dinner party at the beginning. Sorry, I am all jumbled because this was such a fun read! Suzy makes some reckless but awesome decisions in here and I was rooting for her. She is so brave and I love that with each story she gets stronger and more determined to be a postie. No matter what the worlds throw at her she is there to give it a shot.
I loved that we find out some more about the worlds. Not just about the missing one, but also about the rest of the Impossible Places. Plus, we have a character along that we normally only meet at one point!
I loved Hydroborea, well, OK, the villain was just ARGHHHHH, but well-written. But I just loved going in a city that was lost. A city that once was beautiful but now is lost and with a dictator. I was hoping that Suzy could help out. That the book could solve things.
I had such a laugh at the mobile phones they have in the Impossible Places. XD I guess it is good for your condition.
While I wasn’t a fan of the book all the times (I mean he is EATING words) I did grow to like him as the story goes. The snark was just so perfect. And I loved what happened when he opened up.
Where Hydroborea actually was? I absolutely LOVED that and loved how it connected so many things together. Plus, also what it all meant! dances
The main reason why I am rating this one lower (really, each book just gets a lower rating) is because of the parents and then especially the mom. I mean, your kid is honest about where she has gone which is just fantastic and instead of praising that you ground her, lock her down, keep a tight watch on her, stalk her school each day multiple times, hover over her like she cannot be her own person, and more. The mom is such a classic helicopter mom. Horrible. I thought maybe if she went with Suzy on her travels she would change. Well, the dad did (but then again I don’t think dad was that big of an obstacle given all), but mom was constantly whining, screaming, being angry, keeping Suzy close. I mean, your girl has survived 2 adventures so far, she has an amazing group of friends and family there that will help her out. She isn’t alone. She is as safe as one can be. She is inventive and knows how to get out of trouble. She tries to show you and all you do is shriek.

What a fantastic ending to a brilliant series. I can't believe it all ends here; there are so many more adventures for Suzy and her friends to go on.
PG has managed to pull together all the lingering threads, crafting a wonderful story that brings everyone to an ending that suits them. It's full of even more imaginative worlds and strange races, although no one made the one connection I was expecting! I don't want to spoil anyone, so I won't mention it here.
This book has all the humour and comedy you can expect from this series. The new sidekick is brilliant, as is the new ally they make near the end. I'm going to repeat myself; I can't believe this is the end. Although no threads are left dangling, there's plenty of space for new stories and new adventures. But maybe PG wants to move on to a new world. I will definitely be waiting to read it, because it's going to be absolutely amazing.

I just love this kids series!
The 3rd in the 'Train to Impossible Places' saga. Suzy, her goblin friends, and Ursal the yellow polar bear, head off on a quest to deliver a magical book to a lost world before it makes all of the words and sentences in the Impossible Places disappear...
Suzy's parents also come along for the journey this time - a rarity for a children's book and a lovely addition to the story. Suzy very much still takes centre stage, leading the adventure with Postmaster Wilmot.
It's fun, witty & magical, with a fabulous cast of characters and cute illustrations dotted throughout. Highly recommended for 8-13 year olds, but I enjoyed it too!!!

- I listened to the audiobook for this book and I kind of wish I had listened to the audiobooks for the rest of the series but I really enjoyed that experience.
