Description

Milo lives on board the Sesquipedalian, or Quip – a magical train that uses the power of imagination to travel through both Story and the real world. The train is owned by Milo s uncle, Horatio, and Milo has witnessed many of his uncle s dodgy dealings as a book smuggler trading in rare books.

When Horatio takes on a dangerous new job, he needs the help of Tilly Pages. And Tilly owes Horatio a favour. But when poisoned copies of The Wizard of Oz are sent to Horatio and Tilly s grandfather, sending them both into deep sleeps, Milo and Tilly find themselves racing against time to save them – and to figure out what is going on.
