The adventures of a little girl who admires a boy across the street because he has "train tracks" on his teeth. She believes there's a train in there somewhere, and is determined to ride it. When the train finally appears, it exits James' mouth, and the girl climbs aboard for an extraordinary ride right through the core of the earth to China - and back. When James' "train tracks" disappear, the girl switches her allegiance to a boy with a "silver rocket" on his leg - and ends up amidst the stars! Here is an exciting and exotic fantasy story, magnificently illustrated throughout in full-colour. A gorgeous book!
