Btw. I knew what was up with the Red Herring from the outset, and with who. I knew who had done it from almost the beginning and I knew the diamond was being stolen as that scene was playing out. I get it's a kids book and I'm unnaturally canny with a mystery, but I read other kids mysteries that don't project the whole entire solution like this.

At LoveReading it’s all about sharing book love and LoveReading4Schools is a critical part of this and one we take very seriously. As a community we believe we have a social responsibility to support time-strapped teachers and librarians in schools to help engender a lifelong love of reading in their students. First stop is The Highland Falcon Thief, a breat hless train journey full of deceptions, puzzles and clues to solve. Hal begins the journey with some trepidation. He hasn't spent a lot of time with his Uncle and is nervous about traveling just the two of them. The royal carriages,” said Uncle Nat. “Out-of-bounds to us commoners. They’ll be empty until we get to Balmoral.” I know, sausage”—she reached over and ruffled his hair—“but it’ll be good for you to spend some time with your uncle. He’s an interesting man.”

Of course. Much more fun. This is the dining car, where we’ll eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and where we board the train, through those double doors.”

I got teary eyed twice towards the end with happiness. This book made me so freaking happy okay. I love middle grade books for this reason. 😭 They are so pure and fills my heart with joy. Door de beschrijving en de illustraties door het verhaal heen krijg je een heel goed beeld van de trein en de reis. Hierdoor wordt je meegenomen op reis. In combinatie met dat de spanning steeds iets meer omhoog gaat, maakt dat het verhaal reuze leuk! UKLA especially supports the development of approaches to literacy learning and teaching which underpin these understandings. The Association recognises the significance for effective language and communication learning of literature, drama, the visual media, non-fiction texts and information technology, as well as welcoming approaches to teaching which draw on the resources of a wide range of cultures and which are informed by a detailed understanding of how literacy and language work.

I have a station announcement: their collaboration is a chuffing triumph. Fans of Agatha Christie, or, more recently, Robin Stevens and Katherine Woodfine, should adore this mystery which makes a steam trail all of its own. - - Alex O'Connell - The Times Children's Book of the Week

Ik ben blij dat ik dit boek heb gevonden bij de bibliotheek want mijn hemel wat was dit een heerlijk snel boek zeg. Spannend maar ook bergen treinen (ik hou van treinen, ik weet niet alle details van treinen zoals Oom Ben of Lenny, maar ik hou van naar treinen kijken, de details zien, de verschillende manieren hoe het werkt, en meer). Ik zou echt wel mee willen gaan in de trein, want wat een droom was dat zeg, een panoramawagen, een bibliotheek (met een geheimpje), en nog veel meer. Heerlijk hoe de schrijfster, of eigenlijk Alex, ons door de trein leidt en ons steeds weer iets nieuws laat ontdekken. The 2021 UKLA Awards, the only national awards judged by class teachers, will always be remembered as the year when the entire judging process had to be conducted online, with the judging panel only meeting and discussing the titles virtually. Yet despite this the impassioned discussions demonstrated yet again the impact that quality texts can have upon the teacher judges and the students in their classes.

Every birthday and Christmas, he begged for one, but his parents always refused. They said dogs were expensive and a big responsibility. When they’d told him he was going to have a little sister, he’d asked how they could afford another human but not a dog, especially since children were an even bigger responsibility than a dog. He hadn’t meant to be rude, but he found himself being sent to his room anyway.
