Phantom Express

Four young explorers, the sons and daughters of famous archaeologists...

...a ghostly steam train filled with doomed souls.

On an archaeological dig in North Dakota, the Young Explorers discover a town haunted by a steam train that crashes over and over again every night.

C.J. Kask and his friends accompany their parents to North Dakota, where a drought has revealed artifacts at the bottom of a newly dried up river. The artifacts lead to a mystery involving a crashed steam train, a long-lost member of an old west gang, and a present day town election.

Can the Young Explorers solve the mystery and stop the train from crashing so that all the souls on board can finally rest?

They're great for middle-grade boys and girls who love action & adventure with a mix of the fantasy and supernatural. Adults will find that they are fun as well.
