The Silver Arrow by Lev Grossman

5.0

A wonderful, magical book that will please any middle grade reader who loves adventure and animals. Kate is gifted a steam train on her 11th birthday by an eccentric uncle - so she and her brother Tom set off on a trip that will take them around the world and introduce them to a myriad of animals. Grossman so cleverly wraps up all these animal facts in the honest-to-goodness thrills of their adventure that the pages fly by. This is a joy to read and important to read. If one child takes the book’s message to heart, the world will be on its way to becoming a better place. Thank you Mr. Grossman.
