Product Description
A treasured model steam locomotive has vanished—and eight-year-old Ryan is heartbroken.
When The General, a beautiful G-scale locomotive, disappears without a trace, brothers Tanner and Tyler take on their very first mystery. Following clues through Harvest Junction, they investigate an abandoned railroad depot, an overgrown freight spur, and a forgotten loading platform where every new discovery raises even more questions.
Why was only the locomotive taken? What do wagon tracks, coal dust, a tiny red thread, and an ice-cold soda bottle have in common? And can Tanner’s careful observations and Tyler’s imaginative theories solve the mystery before it’s too late?
Filled with memorable railroad settings, engaging illustrations, and age-appropriate suspense, The Case of the Missing Train introduces young readers to Tanner and Tyler’s world of detective work, friendship, and small-town adventure.
Perfect for readers ages 7–11 who enjoy trains, mysteries, and stories where careful thinking is the greatest clue of all.
