She and Tom are now full-fledged conductors of the steam-powered, animal-saving Great Secret Intercontinental Railway. Life is good! \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Or good-ish, anyway. Her uncle Herbert has gone missing, and the worsening climate means that there are more and more animals that need help all the time. How many times does Kate have to save the world before it stays saved? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e And her real life isn't exactly perfect either. She flunked her audition for the junior high musical and got stuck in the chorus, while her archenemy Jag got a lead. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e So, out of desperation, Kate breaks the rules and takes the \u003ci\u003eSilver Arrow\u003c\/i\u003e out on an unsanctioned mission, to find Uncle Herbert and bring back balance to the world. But she quickly discovers she's not the only one on the Great Secret Intercontinental Railway. There's a mysterious train called the \u003ci\u003eGolden Swift\u003c\/i\u003e out there too, with an agenda of its own. Is it an ally? A rival? An enemy? A bit of all three? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The question will turn Kate's world upside down, take her from the Scottish Highlands to the Australian outback to the bottom of the Bering Sea, and lead her straight on a collision course with the mysterious masters of the Great Secret Intercontinental Railway itself. Because when you're a human being fighting to save nature, are you the hero or are you the villain? There are no simple answers.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLev Grossman\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of seven novels including \u003ci\u003eThe Silver Arrow\u003c\/i\u003e, and the #1 \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling Magicians trilogy, which has been published in thirty countries.
