AlbakiReads Editorial

A missed train opens the way to an adventure

Ry steps off a train briefly to make a phone call, only to watch it pull away and leave him alone in an unfamiliar place. That mishap becomes the starting point for a journey involving cars, planes, boats, and an ocean crossing. The description frames the experience as a turn from being stranded toward discovering what comes next, giving the novel’s adventure a clear point of departure without revealing where Ry’s travels lead.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in adventure fiction
  • Readers who enjoy stories that begin with an unexpected travel predicament
  • Those looking for a journey spanning several kinds of transportation

Book overview

Wait
The train was moving. Ry could hardly tell at first, but now he knew. It was gaining speed, and he wasn't fast enough to catch it. He had only gotten off for a minute, just to make a phone call—and now it was gone. He was in the middle of nowhere, alone.
Maybe it was the middle of nowhere, but to Ry, it felt like the beginning of something. Something that would take him in cars, planes, boats . . . over an ocean and back. Something like an adventure.
