Summary

"A beautiful tribute to every queer kid who's ever had to leave their home in order to find one." - Leah Johnson, bestselling author of You Should See Me in a Crown 
 
The author of The Gravity of Us crafts another heartfelt coming-of-age story about finding the people who become your home--perfect for fans of Becky Albertalli. 
 
Marty arrives in London with nothing but his oboe and some savings from his summer job, but he's excited to start his new life--where he's no longer the closeted, shy kid who slips under the radar and is free to explore his sexuality without his parents' disapproval.  
 
 From the outside, Marty's life looks like a perfect fantasy: in the span of a few weeks, he's made new friends, he's getting closer with his first ever boyfriend, and he's even traveling around Europe. But Marty knows he can't keep up the facade. He hasn't spoken to his parents since he arrived, he's tearing through his meager savings, his homesickness and anxiety are getting worse and worse, and he hasn't even come close to landing the job of his dreams. Will Marty be able to find a place that feels like home?

He needs that magic badly—there are forces threatening the Urwald from all sides.

It's a dream-fuelled night-time train adventure through fantastical realms that will enrapture young ones and nurture their imagination. 
    Meet the 'magic dream train,' a splendid vehicle journeying through the silken night, carrying children's dreams and lighting up their imagination. Nightly, it begins a voyage across star-studded glades, over sugar-coated hills, and even to a dragon's lair, casting a magical radiance and evoking awe and delight in every corner of the dreamscapes. 
    Every child's dream is welcomed, including frolicking unicorns, majestic castles, playful fairies, and high-flying kites. The magic dream train not only navigates candy mountains and seaside vistas, but it also traverses realms of vivid imagination where pirates navigate, dinosaurs wander, and mermaids chant. 
    At every mystical station stop, the train unfolds a thrilling tale, introducing children to a world brimming with dreamy escapades. The journey celebrates the fanciful nature of dreams, gliding through territories where wishes blossom like blooms, and a congenial gnome resides near a rainbow bridge and a gingerbread house. 
    As dawn nears, the magic train concludes its bewitching journey, smoothly reverting to reality. With the morning sun's first rays, the dream-powered voyage concludes, yet the allure of the magical expedition lingers. 
    This one-of-a-kind tale invites every child to snuggle into bed and set off on this nightly escapade. Let the magic train transport your child into the realm of dreams, where reality might not always hold, but that’s the enchantment of the dream train's magical journey. A captivating read offering a blend of excitement and tranquility, ideal for a magical bedtime voyage.
