On the Blue Comet

When Oscar’s dad leaves to find work in California during the depression, a strange man shows up and befriends him. When Oscar witnesses a bank robbery, he suddenly finds himself on a train, but in another time period and place. Anyone that has ever been enthralled by a large miniature train layout will love this heart warming story!
