First Lines Friday... You'll want to Pack Your Bags for This One!


"Wilbur Budd died around midnight, but he had trouble remembering the details" 

Would you keep reading after the first lines? I would! And I love these stories that let the characters go back in time and that's what the publisher's blurb implies...

No one can change the past, but the Midnight Train can take you there.

The chance to re-live the moments that meant most.

To see what kind of person you really were.

For Wilbur his best days were with Maggie, the love of his life. On his honeymoon in Venice.

Before he gave it all away.

He wishes he could go back and live differently. But to do so risks everything . . .

A magical, time-travelling love story, from the world of The Midnight Library. 

Let's get our bags packed and ready to board that train!
   Viking Books will release The Midnight Train by Matt Haig on May 26th!
