MEDIA REVIEWS
All aboard for an unforgettable journeyRollicking entertainment.Bursting with influences,particularly Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett,but has a crazy,pacy charm all its own.A harum-scarum fantasy adventure crammed with quirky action.This wickedly amusing tale of trolls and trains and physics waylaid by fuzzics,reaches out to children with its quality writing and suspenseful rip-roaring inventive adventure,but definitely speaks to adults with nods to disgruntled postal workers and train engineers.
