A chilling adventure awaits in this page-turning thriller about an art rescue mission, made up monsters coming to life, and a terrifying ride on the Imagination Train from middle grade author Tevin Hansen.
Mizzy Agnor has watched most of her close friends throw away an important piece of their childhood-imagination, a love of art and being creative. When her best friend's sketchbook-full of creepy drawings of "the quiet man"-is heartlessly tossed into an open manhole, Miz goes in after it, alone.
Rattus, a clever but easily distracted sewer dweller, leads her through the underground labyrinth, all the way to the Imagination Train, which will take her anywhere she chooses. A classroom full of friends, an abandoned movie theater, or even a visit to her beloved Grammy's house. But even the most clever and inventive imagination can become distorted in a place like this. Miz will have to find a way out before everything good she's dreamed up so far begins to...change...and will eventually change her.
*This is only the beginning of what the Quiet Man has planned for Miz, Fenn and Reiny, three middle school students bound together by friendship, loyalty-and a few stitches.
