From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Magicians comes an enchanting debut for young readers, ideal for fans of The Chronicles of Narnia and Roald Dahl.
Dear Uncle Herbert,
You don't know me, but I'm your niece Kate. Since it's my birthday tomorrow and you're very rich, will you send me a gift?
Kate and her younger brother Tom lead a boring life, just like their parents. They dream of exciting adventures like in books, but their 11th birthday seems just as boring—until Uncle Herbert, whom they've never seen, surprises them with an extraordinary gift: the gigantic steam locomotive Silver Arrow.
Their parents want to send the train back, but Kate and Tom have other plans. Together with talking animals, they travel to magical worlds via special railway lines. Their curiosity, courage, and ingenuity lead them to an unforgettable adventure—perhaps even to save the world.
This imaginative story is perfect for children who want to improve their Dutch language skills at level A2 to B1. The material is very suitable for teaching and self-study.
