I enjoyed the book it was exciting , creative and most certainly adventurous and most joyful . But if you are a train person, I would recommend it to but if you aren't its still very adventurous I personally couldn't sit there and read it for a while but I still like the book .

Harrison Beck and Uncle Nat are invited to the Highland Falcon's, the worlds most impressive steam train, last journey. Although, there's a thief on board and when an expensive diamond is stolen, Harrison and his friend Lenny are in the middle of an investigation. Can they solve the mystery before the end of the journey? I liked the book because it is mysterious . My favourite part is when Harrison climbs on top of the train, but despite the risk of falling off, he thinks about the films, where people run on trains that are going at full speed and how they are lying because you can't run on a moving train. I learnt that steam trains are interesting as they run on coal and water, I would recommend this book because it is daring and make you guess the whole way through.
