For the first time, she was able to learn about art and history and other languages in an environment where everyone wanted to be there. This short journey was nothing compared to the things Alex had handled in the past.Īlex loved being a part of the honors program. It was a questionable trip for a young girl to make by herself, and her mother had had reservations at first, but she knew Alex could handle it. Since she was too young to drive and her mother worked the majority of the day at a children's hospital, every Thursday after school Alex would ride her bike to the train station and travel the short distance into the next town for her classes. In fact, she was so advanced she was part of an honors program that allowed her to take an additional class at the community college in the next town. Luckily for her, she was one of only a few people on the five o'clock train back into town, so her secret was safe.Īlex was an exceptionally bright student and always had been. She was a very smart and serious young woman and never wanted to give the wrong impression. A long sigh came out of the thirteen-year-old girl and she neatly fixed a strand of strawberry-blonde hair that had escaped her headband.Īlex hated dozing off in public places. She looked at the empty seats around her while she remembered where she was. Nice job, Chris Colfer! Waiting anxiously for the next one now.The subtle jerks of the train rocked Alex Bailey awake. To tell you the truth, I still keep thinking about it. If you want something fun to do with the kids, I'd recommend listening to this book with them. This book is frontier fun for the whole family. I wish I could have finished it in one sitting.
There are character's from the first one who you will miss, but you will be delighted to hear about the new ones too.
It was very nice to see Alex and Connor grow into these great teens who are already seeking for their life career's. It is a continuation to the story, but it is so much better, there are so many adventures, and some of the characters even had personal growth. 5 well deserved stars! This being the second and a continuation to the story, I kind of expected it to be similar to the first. Fast paced and Fun! Couldn't put it down!Įven though this is a children's book, I am a 35-year old adult who loved it! Chris' performance is even better (if possible) than the one in his first book.
