Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: âAn atmospheric late-1930s adventure with old-time cinematic appeal. Fans of fast-paced, far-fetched action will lap it up as enthusiastically as Sam swallows his favorite brand of sardines.â âKirkus Reviews
Â
Lantern Sam is the wise-cracking, sarcastic, talking cat (for those who can hear him, that is) who lives on board the Lake Erie Shoreliner train and is one of the best detectives no one knows about. He doesnât have much patience for humans (unless they bring him sardines), but when 10-year-old traveler Henry canât find his new friend, the exuberant Ellie, Samâs enlisted to help. A ransom note is soon discovered and just like that, Sam and Henry are on the case, with the help of Clarence the Conductor (who supplies Samâs sardines). But is Ellie still on board the train? Did the salesman with his trunk full of samples sneak her off? And why does that couple keep acting so suspiciously?
Veteran middle-grade mystery author Michael D. Beil has crafted a hilarious and appealing adventure set in the 1930s thatâs chock-full of quirky characters and red herrings, and all with an irresistible cat at its center.
From the Hardcover edition.
