Review:

When Peter, Roberta and Phyllis’ father is mysteriously taken from them, they go to live in the country along with their mother. Unable to afford to go to school, they spend their time at the railway, talking to the station master and exploring the line. At 9.15 every morning, they wave at the train, hoping it will take their love to their father. There is one old gentleman that always waves back to them, and, one day, will help them to discover the truth.

This book was very realistic, it could have easily been a true story. I really enjoyed it.

Mark out of 5…

4 – Very Good
