Ruby is miserable. Her parents have split up, and now she's
stuck in a creepy village. At night, she decides to escape and
follow the ancient train track home.
Her journey has barely begun when she hears the eerie scream of
a whistle - and an old steam train appears out of the darkness
. . .
Is Ruby ready for the ghost ride of her life?
Packed full of spooky ghosts, child-friendly horror,
time-travelling steam trains and ancient English mythology.
