Suzy’s parents are none too keen on her weekend activities as a postie on the Impossible Postal Express, so to reassure them, she invites the crew of the Belle de Loin to dinner at her house one Friday evening. Plans are quickly thrown into disarray however, as a message summons the crew to the Ivory Tower for A Gold Stamp Special – the first Wilmot the postmaster has ever had. The delivery is an overdue book, which is threatening the very existence of the library at the Ivory Tower. Unfortunately, no-one can locate the delivery address Hydroborea, which has been missing for a long time.
A frantic race against time ensues, involving crossing voids between worlds, carrying a ghost in a skull and being imprisoned by a kraken. Slapstick humour, madcap adventure, and generated by the eccentric characters and their interactions are described so vividly that the novel plays like a film before your eyes. Suzy’s relationship with her parents is depicted realistically and with humour, whilst the action takes place entirely in the fantasy mix of magic and science fiction that is the world of the Impossible Places.
Entertaining, funny and totally enjoyable.

What a simply delightful book.

We are back with Suzy, Wilmot and the gang for another adventure and their most daring delivery to date. We are back with the whole gang but this time we have Suzy’s parents in tow too.

This book is as cracking as the rest in the series - the characters are wonderful, the story and one liners are as witty as you’d expect from PG Bell.

Highly recommended to all.

What an ending! I was gripped from the very beginning. Having followed Suzy’s journey through from book 1, , I started reading this book with equal feelings of excitement about reading the final instalment and dread of it all being over!
Thankfully it didn’t disappoint and the adventure that Suzy and her gang find themselves on this time is the best yet in my opinion,
The ending was satisfying in terms of it tying up all of the loose ends and left no stone unturned.

Welcome aboard the Impossible Postal Express. Buckle up and prepare yourself for another wild ride!

When Suzy invites her new friends to meet her parents, the last thing she expects is to end up on another hair-raising adventure, with her parents in tow! We travel with the new crew members to a lost city in order to save the Union from a word-stealing book.

The third book in the Impossible Places series does not disappoint. The phrase action-packed doesn’t seem to cut it! Adventure ebbs from every page in this story. P.G. Bell is a master architect, creating new worlds, brimming with magic, with ease. The reader feels as if they are on an actual train journey looking out upon a world of impossible places. It’s immerse, refreshing and totally unique.

Delivery to the Lost City was fast-paced, unpredictable and gripping. Bell’s imagination is seemingly-endless. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and very much hope it’s not my final meeting with Suzy, Wilmot & Co.

Returning the Book of Power which had been borrowed for a few thousand years, was the mission for Suzy and Wilmot.
The challenge was mighty! This massive responsibility led to the pursuit of evil Lord who had been controlling the Union. .
An amazing sequel to The Train to Impossible places had me and my ten year old son on the edge of our seats.
We were gripped and thrilled by the adventure!
Recommended to all readers aged 9+

It’s time to say goodbye to Suzy, Wilmot, Fletch and the fantastic cast of characters in P.G. Bell’s imaginative trilogy. I say goodbye, but perhaps, it is not really the end, just a see you soon!

A perfect blend of imagination and fun, science and adventure and a fitting farewell to these super characters.

In this exciting and adventurous third book, Suzy takes her parents along for the next delivery! In trying to prove it isn’t dangerous or scary, and to convince them to let her continue on as postie....though much of what she does is entirely the opposite of that. This time, the crew of the Impossible Postal Express, must deliver a gold stamp special. It is the Book of Power and it is devouring all the words from the Ivory Tower, and anything it comes into contact with. If it doesn’t get delivered back to its original home, the words will go back to their books. If the deadline passes, then the words stay inside The Book of Power. Speed and efficiency are of the most importance for the crew.

It won’t be easy but the crew are brave, determined and ready for adventure! The book belongs to the lost city of Hydroborea and many who attempt to find it, become lost themselves. Suzy and the crew find themselves in plenty of dangerous situations, come face to face with old foes and must ultimately work together to deliver the book on time!

The entire series is imaginative and fun, exciting and enchanting. It has been great to be along for the ride!
I look forward to seeing what P.G. Bell comes up with next!

I was utterly thrilled with this book, the last in the Train to Impossible Places series. Full of adventure, magic and love, P. G. Bell has created something extremely lovely.

These books always feel to me like a combination of Angie Sage and Paul Stewart: surprising you with its strangeness and hitting you with an emotional kick when you least expect it. This book wraps up Suzy’s story in an incredibly satisfying way but (hopefully) doesn’t leave the door too firmly closed. I’m going to miss reading about my favourite Posties on their amazing train, but I’m so happy they got such a wonderful send off.

Well, it was a bittersweet journey in this, the third and final instalment of the Train to Impossible places series.
I was really looking forward to this one, having enjoyed the previous 2 and it was really nice to be back in the company of Suzy, Wilmot, Fletch etc.
This time, the crew are looking for the lost city of Hydroborea and have limited time to deliver their package.
Another fun adventure for the crew. I really enjoyed the addition of the chief and Ina. These books are great fun and I did feel sad knowing it was the last journey.
Thanks to Usbourne and Netgalley for this preview copy. Can't wait to get my hands on a finished copy with all the illustrations 😊
