Description
"Perfect for readers who love trains and adventure. A valuable addition with an entertaining story line and enjoyable artwork." - School Library Journal, for Ticket to Ride: An Unexpected Journey
"With a crisp, engaging voice and sharp wit, Adrienne Kress is always a treat to read." - Kelley Armstrong, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author
After saving the Excelsior Express, Teddy thought he’d be heading home for a quiet, adventure-free break. But when he accidentally boards the Rocket, a state-of-the-art, cutting-edge bullet train, things spiral out of control fast.
This fictional novel, perfect for middle schoolers or gamers of any age, is based on the hit Ticket to Rideâ„¢ board game by Alan R. Moon, which has a movie adaptation under development with Netflix.
Without a ticket, a phone, or any idea why there’s a mysterious puppy in his backpack, Teddy hurtles towards New Orleans at record-breaking speeds. As his journey unfolds, he encounters an eclectic mix of characters, from shadowy agents to an elderly woman named Wilson to a pair of burly brothers who try to recruit him. And what’s more—everyone seems to be after the “asset,” and Teddy doesn't know who to trust.
As the adventure intensifies, Teddy must rely on his train knowledge, sharp wits, and unexpected allies to protect the puppy, uncover the Rocket’s secrets, and find his way back home—if he can.
Join Teddy for another electrifying journey, packed with twists, turns, and unexpected surprises as he takes a Ticket to Rideâ„¢! Bestselling author Adrienne Kress (Five Nights at Freddy's / Bendy and the Ink Machine) weaves a delightful spy story with twist in a style reminiscent of Lemony Snicket and Roald Dahl.
