When they stumble upon an abandoned train, unbeknownst to them, a harrowing discovery awaits within its rotting interior. \"Steampunk\" captures a young narrator's dream as a sprawling trackside vineyard morphs into a fantasy landscape where coal grows on grapevines and workers labour the fields to feed a massive, at-the-ready locomotive. Both joy and turmoil soon arise during this exhilarating coming-of-age adventure. \"Hobo Shoestring\" follows a narrator through an adrenaline-fuelled ramble aboard a helter-skelter train that introduces everything from '60s rock culture to the notorious outlaws of the Wild West.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 84\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.31 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 30, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42123811520647,"sku":"9781039158283","price":28.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/160bc4d1dee8ebf3a53b7c7a550f59c2.webp?v=1732568193","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/painting-trains-three-adventures-into-the-unknown-hardcover","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
