The Train of Lost Things

(4) 4-6 Marty seeks the storied "Train of Lost Things" after he loses a jacket given to him by his dying father. In this fantasy-adventure, Paquette attempts to tackle large questions about death and loss with uneven success. The connection between the train and death is sketchy, but the notion that beloved lost objects are collected on a magical train is appealing, as is Marty's hero's journey.
