Book Synopsis
"Don't you think it's rather nice to think that we're in a book that God's writing? If I were writing the book, I might make mistakes. But God knows how to make the story end just right-in the way that's best for us." The Railway Children
When Mr. Waterbury is arrested and accused of selling secrets to the enemies of England, his wife and children have to leave London and move to a small house near a railway station. Bobbie, Phyllis, and Peter soon find themselves in a series of adventures, some funny and some frightening involving the train and the people who ride it. After many adventures, the children finally discover the truth about their father, but their quest to reunite their family won't be easy.
