TICKET TO RIDE: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY<\/strong><\/p>\n

Out March 2025!<\/p>\n

All aboard the journey of a lifetime!\u00a0<\/b>Ticket to Ride<\/i>\u00a0is an immensely popular board game where players test their skills in teamwork, strategy, and luck. This new, 100% official, and high stakesTicket to Ride\u00a0<\/i>book will whisk readers all throughout the North America, is perfect for fans of all ages,\u00a0<\/i>with black-and-white illustrations by artist David Miles and chilling, pulse-pounding prose by bestselling author Adrienne Kress.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

To say twelve-year-old Teddy loves trains is an understatement. He is\u00a0obsessed<\/i><\/b>. He knows everything there is to know about them, has the most amazing model train setup in the basement, and he carries around a classic caboose, a small model of a caboose of a 19th century steam engine that he received as a birthday gift. It\u2019s his good luck charm!\u00a0So when Teddy wins a Ticket To Ride the\u00a0Excelsior Express\u00a0<\/i>in a writing contest, he can’t wait. The\u00a0Excelsior Express\u00a0<\/i>is a train that’s modeled to look like it’s from the 1920’s but is outfitted with a high-tech locomotive system. This will be the train’s flagship journey, and it’s a dream come true for Teddy.\u00a0Plus, he’ll get to see his grandparents in Los Angeles, and travel all across North America from his hometown of Toronto, Canada.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Wait . . . dream come true?<\/p>\n

Or maybe a\u00a0nightmare<\/i>.<\/p>\n

When the train gets rerouted from Omaha to Pittsburgh, at first, Teddy doesn’t think anything of it. Trains get rerouted all of the time. But then the train gets rerouted\u00a0again.\u00a0<\/i>What’s more, his lucky caboose is missing.<\/p>\n

As it turns out, this ticket to ride takes Teddy, his new friend Olivia, a woman always dressed in yellow named Mina, two traveling musicians named Allie and Dex, and their fellow passengers on an unexpected journey and through some pretty hefty corporate corruption.<\/p>\n

Based on the hit board game,\u00a0Ticket to Ride,\u00a0<\/i>author Adrienne Kress weaves fascinating story with adventure in this book that’s full of mystery, adventure, and friendship, in a style reminiscent of Lemony Snicket and Roald Dahl. Illustrator David Miles’s spot art leaps off the page . . . and onto a train track. Fans of Lemony Snicket’s\u00a0A Series of Unfortunate Events\u00a0<\/i>and Adrienne’s own\u00a0Bendy and the Ink Machine\u00a0<\/i>novels will love this series.<\/p>\n
