About this book
When their comfortable suburban life is shattered by their father's sudden arrest, Bobbie, Peter, and Phyllis are forced to move to a modest country cottage called Three Chimneys. Their new world revolves around the railway, where they wave to a kind old gentleman on the daily train, befriend the station porter, and learn the workings of the line. Through acts of bravery—from stopping a train with makeshift flags to rescuing a stranded schoolboy—and quiet resilience, they navigate poverty, illness, and a terrible secret about their father's imprisonment. With the help of the railway community and their mysterious benefactor, they hold onto hope and ultimately find a path to reunion and justice.
