The Great Brain Robbery by P.G. Bell
4.0
Thank you to #NetGalley and Macmillan's Children's Publishing Group for an advance copy of The Great Brain Robbery (A Train to Impossible Places, #2) by P.G. Bell. All opinions are my own.
Suzy Smith returns to the land of Impossible Places or the re-launch of the Impossible Post Express. While in Trollville reuniting with her old friends, an earthquake hits. Suzy, Frederick, Wilmot and the rest of the gang uncover a dubious plot to steal a hidden treasure buried deep beneath Trollville. The attempts to break into the vault threaten to bring down the whole city. It is up to Suzy and her friends to stop the culprits, solve the mystery, save Trollville, and maybe deliver some mail along the way.
The second book in the series was just as fun, funny, and magical as the first. The world Bell has created is vibrant and unique. I love that magic, logic, and physics (I mean fuzzics) function differently than in other fantasy novels. Suzy is a strong female protagonist with a big heart and a good head on her shoulders. It was also fun to get to know Frederick as his true self rather than a snow globe frog. This book is full of twists and turns and I wasn't able to predict most of the plot. This is perfect for students who enjoy whimsical stories full of mystery and adventure.
