review 1: Most of the story reads like an adventure, but there are elements of fantasy. A Sasquatch is introduced early in the plot, and it reappears later in the book. The circus owner is a magician, and he's trying to find a painting with the power to save his life. There are also supernatural moments with time and a deadly hag. The story's setting created suspense, because Will was forced to stay on the train knowing that killers were nearby. The circus acts added some entertaining moments and helped save Will's life several times.
review 2: It's kind of interesting to me that this is a totally different topic than Airborn, yet it had all of the elements that I loved about that story: Boy protagonist with a daring girl as a potential love interest, an exciting trip ab... moreoard old-time transportation (train vs. airship this time), magical creatures (sasquatch instead of flying cats), dangerous criminals (brakemen instead of pirates), and a teenage boy wanting to prove himself and save the day. Definitely a good story for boys and girls in the 12-15 range who enjoy a good adventure. less
