I just love this kids series!
The 3rd in the 'Train to Impossible Places' saga. Suzy, her goblin friends, and Ursal the yellow polar bear, head off on a quest to deliver a magical book to a lost world before it makes all of the words and sentences in the Impossible Places disappear...
Suzy's parents also come along for the journey this time - a rarity for a children's book and a lovely addition to the story. Suzy very much still takes centre stage, leading the adventure with Postmaster Wilmot.
It's fun, witty & magical, with a fabulous cast of characters and cute illustrations dotted throughout. Highly recommended for 8-13 year olds, but I enjoyed it too!!!

- I listened to the audiobook for this book and I kind of wish I had listened to the audiobooks for the rest of the series but I really enjoyed that experience.

Definitely my favorite of the series!! Suzy and crew get into so much mischief, I kind of wish this series would continue indefinitely..but I suppose I'm okay with it being a conclusion. If I must be.
There are so many funny parts and silly jokes (and doctor who references) that I was cackling out loud. The thing with the secure cargo unit was funny every single time

I absolutely adore this series and think it might just be one of my favourite middle grade series ever. I adore all the characters and how sarcastic and witty the books are. The Chief was such a gold star highlight in this book and I loved all his terrible ghost jokes.
I hope this series carries on for more books because i'd love to follow these adventures forever.
