I have so enjoyed all of @susanbrownrigg.bsky.social 's books, and yes, I've read them all.
I think #WrongTracks, published today by @uclanpublishing.bsky.social , may be the best yet. A stunning adventure set against the backdrop of the pioneering age of steam railways. So, so good!

Join author Susan Brownrigg as she visits the different houses inventor George Stephenson’s lived in – and discover how they reflect his growing success and status as a steam locomotive…
