The Primrose Railway Children

by Jacqueline Wilson

Phoebe Robinson has always loved spinning stories — just like her brilliant, imaginative Dad. But when he vanishes without a trace, everything changes. Phoebe, her siblings, and Mum are forced to start over in a quiet cottage far from home.

Lonely and full of questions, Phoebe finds comfort in her guinea pig, Daisy — until a hidden railway station and its magical steam trains spark unexpected adventures. Still, one question won’t leave her: what is Mum not telling them… and where is Dad?
