Fun quick read, introducing a host of characters from Trolls, Elves, Fairies, Witches, and more. A real hero's journey, innocently traversing sentient trains to destination of Ramsgate. Slater uses literary references to J M Barrie, humour like Sir Terry Pratchett's (good and bad, including things like The National Elf Service), and fantastically weaves real locations into her narrative, making this book both engaging and interesting. I love the use of the Ramsgate tunnels, amongst other locations; and introducing new mythologies to both the wildlife (especially the green birds), and buildings (especially West Cliff Lodge). I particularly loved the fairy portal location being in such a public place. ( )
