{"product_id":"the-silver-arrow","title":"The Silver Arrow","description":"From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Magicians comes a must-read, wholly original middle-grade debut perfect for fans of The Chronicles of Narnia and Roald Dahl.\n\n\"I loved every page. This is middle grade fiction at its best.\" —Ann Patchett\n\nDear Uncle Herbert,You've never met me, but I'm your niece Kate, and since it is my birthday tomorrow and you are super-rich could you please send me a present?\n\nKate and her younger brother Tom lead dull, uninteresting lives. And if their dull, uninteresting parents are anything to go by, they don't have much to look forward to. Why can't Kate have thrilling adventures and save the world the way people do in books? Even her 11th birthday is shaping up to be mundane—that is, until her mysterious and highly irresponsible Uncle Herbert, whom she's never even met before, surprises her with the most unexpected, exhilarating, inappropriate birthday present of all time: a colossal steam locomotive called the Silver Arrow.\n\nKate and Tom's parents want to send it right back where it came from. But Kate and Tom have other ideas—and so does the Silver Arrow—and soon they're off to distant lands along magical rail lines in the company of an assortment of exotic animals who, it turns out, can talk. With only curiosity, excitement, their own resourcefulness and the thrill of the unknown to guide them, Kate and Tom are on the adventure of a lifetime ... and who knows? They just might end up saving the world after all.\n\nThis thrilling fantasy adventure will not only entertain young readers but inspire them to see the beautiful, exciting, and precious world around them with new eyes.\n\nA New York Times bestseller!\nA People Magazine Best Book of the Year\nAn Apple Best Book of the Year\nAn Amazon Best Book of the Year\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0316539538\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: HBSV.0316539538.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Grossman, Lev\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book  is in good condition and has some writing, underlining, and or highlighting inside.
