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.

Anonymous I’m so grateful to have discovered this series, which I purchased from different sellers at various prices. I love all the stories; they are charming, magical, and funny, and they feature characters who can step into the stories themselves (the book wanderers). I believe this series is not just for middle-grade readers (ages 9-12) but is also enjoyable for adult readers like me.
