The Highland Falcon Thief
by M. G. Leonard and Sam Sedgman
Hal is dragged along on the last journey of a royal steam train, where a jewel thief is among the passengers and nobody can leave.
A story about children, adventurous and wry in tone. We would put it with children of 8–11, and at a reading age of about 9 for reading alone.
Nothing flagged
We have not flagged any content in this one that a parent would usually want warning about.
Part of a series
This is book 1 of the Adventures on Trains series, so there is more to read if it goes down well — which is worth a great deal with a reluctant reader.

Or let them write their own.
Nothing gets a child reading like a story they invented themselves. Your child plans the characters and the plot, and we write, illustrate and print it as a real book with their name on the cover as the author.
