The Blue Comet
by Rosemary Wells

Recommended by:  Jordana Q.
An 11-year-old boy named Oscar Olgivie is in love with trains. He builds a model of trains with his dad. One day his dad got laid off of his job working as a tractor seller. Oscar had to live with his Aunt Carmen and his cousin. While Aunt Carman goes to work tutoring kids, he stays home. One day he meets a man who tutors him in math. Right before Christmas, Oscar went to visit him and a robbery happened at the bank he worked at. During the robbery he heard "Jump!", so he jumped on the model trains. He woke up in 1926. Will he ever go back to 1931?
My favorite part was when he meets Claire.
