Reviews"Suzy is off on another adventure in the Union of Impossible Places in Bell's second book. Suzy rejoins her friends Wilmot, Fletch, Stonker, Ursel, and Frederick for a special royal reception for the newly rebuilt and refurbished Impossible Postal Express. But before the big reveal, an earthquake strikes Trollville, sending everything into chaos. ... Bell has a knack for timing, knowing just when to break away from the action. The characters in this volume are more developed, especially Suzy, who takes on leadership successfully. Part adventure, part mystery, part fantasy world set on its ear, there is something here for everyone." -- Booklist PRAISE FOR THE TRAIN TO IMPOSSIBLE PLACES (BOOK 1): " All aboard for an adventure like no other --readers will be delighted to learn it's just the first." -- Kirkus Reviews , starred review "Bell sets a smart pace, guiding Suzy smoothly through one impossibility after another in a way that keeps readers off-balance without bogging them down . . . the kind of efficiency and solid storytelling that a troll would admire--while promising potential future adventures for Suzy. " -- Horn Book " A rollicking adventure . . reminiscent of Terry Pratchett and Diana Wynne Jones. There is plenty of humor to season Bell's debut novel, and the characters and plot are refreshingly well developed and raise serious questions about honor and freedom. Fortunately, there will be more adventures in this first in a projected series.
