About this item

All aboard the journey of a lifetime! Ticket to Ride is an immensely popular board game where players test their skills in teamwork, strategy, and luck. This new, 100% official, and high-stakes adventure book will whisk readers across North America and is a treat for fans of all ages. “Perfect for readers who love trains and adventure. A valuable addition with an entertaining story line and enjoyable artwork.” - School Library Journal “With a crisp, engaging voice and sharp wit, Adrienne Kress is always a treat to read.” - Kelley Armstrong, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author To say twelve-year-old Teddy loves trains is an understatement. He is obsessed. He knows everything there is to know about them, has the most amazing model train setup in the basement, and carries around a small model of a caboose of a 19th century steam engine as a good luck charm! So when Teddy wins a ticket to ride the Excelsior Express in a writing contest, he can't wait. This will be the train's flagship journey, and it's a dream come true for Teddy. Plus, he'll get to see his grandparents in Los Angeles and travel all across North America from his hometown of Toronto, Canada. Wait . . . dream come true? Maybe more like a nightmare. When the train gets rerouted from Omaha to Pittsburgh, at first, Teddy doesn't think anything of it. Trains get rerouted all of the time. But then the train gets rerouted again. What's more, his lucky caboose is missing. As it turns out, his ticket to ride takes Teddy, his new friend Olivia, a woman always dressed in yellow named Mina, two traveling musicians named Allie and Dex, and their fellow passengers on an unexpected journey and through some pretty hefty corporate corruption. Based on the hit board game Ticket to Ride, which has a movie adaptation under development with Netflix, bestselling author Adrienne Kress weaves a fascinating story full of mystery, adventure, and friendship in chilling, pulse-pounding prose. Illustrator David Miles's black-and-white spot art leaps off the page . . . and right onto a train track. Fans of Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events and Adrienne's own Bendy and the Ink Machine novels will love this series!
