Illustrated by
Freya Blackwood.
Two little girls meet on a train-station platform and begin both a friendship and a journey; each one has its highs and lows. Sketched-in pencil lines give the pastel art a sense of movement and immediacy; the signs on many of the double-page spreads ("timetable"; "signal failure"; "destination") help keep readers connected to the two themes.
