Why read it?

1 author picked The Highland Falcon Thief as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

A great mystery that my son loved trying to solve as we read along, as well as well-rounded characters, including Harrison Beck – boy detective and hero of the Adventures on Trains series – and we also loved the Scottish setting and the stuff about trains too… we learnt a lot!

And if you like this one, there are five or more others in the series, set in California, southern Africa, Germany, and elsewhere.
