Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

From multi-million best-selling author Jacqueline Wilson and inspired by E. Nesbit's timeless classic, The Primrose Railway Children is a gorgeous, heartwarming story of family secrets and new adventures.

Sit back and enjoy the journey!

Phoebe Robinson loves making up stories - just like her wonderful, imaginative dad.

When he mysteriously disappears, Phoebe, Perry, Becks and their mum must leave everything behind and move to a small cottage in the middle of nowhere.

Struggling to feel at home and missing her dad terribly, Phoebe's only distraction is her guinea pig, Daisy. Until the family discover the thrilling steam trains at the railway station and, suddenly, every day is filled with adventure.

But Phoebe still can't help wondering: what is Mum hiding, and, more worryingly, is Dad okay?

Wow, an amazing book with engaging narration!

Im 10 and I love this book because it is to well written and entertaining! I would prob recommend for 9-12 year olds but then again that’s just me! The story was so fun but the bit about the dad was a teeny bit sad:( .This book is a MUST READ! Also, the narrator was VERY GOOD at doing all the specific voices and I felt it fit the characters! Anyway, the book was ✨ F I V E S T A R S ✨!

Brilliant Book!

My Daughter (11) loved listening to this over and over again. In her words 'It is a thrilling cliffhanger and you never know what is going to happen next'. She highly recommends it!

Just issues of life and pretty boring story.

Headline suggests it could be similar to railway children theme but this has way too many issues in a family and became quite boring. There was no need for any of the long drawn out pre story before they arrived at the cottage, actually gave up as there was no enjoyment to the story.
