Sabotage on the Solar Express: 5 (Adventures on Trains, 5)

Although I haven’t read this story yet I’m sure to like it. I have the others. The book arrived promptly and in perfect condition

Love this brilliant series of adventures all set on trains and I think this is the best one yet!This is the fifth in the series and Hal and his Uncle Nat are invited as special guests aboard the Solar Express in Australia: a train powered entirely by hydrogen cells and the winning entry from Reza's Rocket competition. The winner is a young boy, not much older than Hal, who has a flair for science and engineering. From the start it is clear that not everyone likes the design and even before the train departs from the station, you get the sense the journey is doomed.This story was set over a much shorter period of time than the other books and is constant action. The suspects aboard the train were all introduced early, but you got to know them as the journey progressed - there was the clever inclusion of a journalist and film maker on the trip meaning their interviews were a subtle but important way of learning backstories and views of the new technology.The science and engineering aspect of this book were fascinating and there was much to be learnt from the young designer Boaz. There were lots of aspects of the book that any child who loves science could research more about and the setting of the Australian outback was the perfect reason for the eco-friendly fuel.An excellent book; highly recommended!

I’ve been told it’s fabulous the whole series is wonderful.

I've read all books so far and I'm looking forward to the next one. I love how M.G. Leonard has reused the Reza family once more. I love how Marriane has matured and that she gave Woody a promotion and Patrice that's really heart warmingI'm a 9 year old so it's aimed my age.😶🚂🚄🚅🚆🚇🚝

Just started reading it.

Another great book in the Adventures on Trains series. It was very fast moving and almost unputdownable (if there is such a word!). I loved it, but, please,is there any way of making the pictures clearer on kindle??They are very difficult to make out much detail in, and some of them are ridiculously small on my kindle paperwhite. The captions are between very difficult and impossible to read. Thankfully m1-ost of them are included in the text, but I don't think all were.I think the picture are probably better in the paper copies, but I don't own a paper copy of any of them.That said,I love the series and will pre-order the next one as soon as possible.

Book set my sons enjoyed reading

You don't have to like trains (although it helps) to enjoy this mystery book. The six books in the series are gripping and captivating.
