The Train to Impossible Places
by P. G. Bell
A delivery train runs through Suzy's hallway one night, and she joins the crew of trolls to deliver a parcel that turns out to be alive.
A story about children and magical creatures, funny and adventurous in tone. We would put it with children of 8–11, and at a reading age of about 9 for reading alone.
Worth knowing before you buy

Part of a series
This is book 1 of the The Train to Impossible Places 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.
