review 1: 'On the Blue Comet' is a novel whose story features a child and his exploits with time travelling model railway engines. Beautifully illustrated by Bagram Ibatoulline, this beguiling tale is set in depression era America and has a memorable cast of characters. But a children's book? No, not really: more for young adults and beyond as this novel has so many references/similes/metaphors that would need knowledge beyond that of someone aged 13/14. To say someone had an 'old fashioned', without stating 'old fashioned drink/cocktail' would leave many children, and even some adults, scratching their heads. Overall, as an adult I enjoyed it - much as I did Capote's 'A Christmas Memory' - 3.5 stars.
review 2: This book really surprised me so much. It has lots of diver... morese and interesting characters for everyone to love. The storyline is interesting and innovative as the boy tries to find his father in California. Some sections of the story do get boring but you'll get cheered up by the later sections of this wonderfully produced story.Go get this book and you will enjoy almost every second of it.
