On Sodor Island, a simple crack in the track sets off a chain reaction of chaos. Trains halt, buses fuss, and even a toad causes trouble. As everything that can go wrong does, the stakes rise for the railway system. Can the breakdown train and its trusty cranes restore order amidst the mayhem? Discover how a small mishap leads to a big adventure, testing the resilience of the island's transport network.
From the publisher
What does it take to bring the entire Island of Sodor Railway System to a halt? Just a crack in the track. Well, a crack in the track and some hail on rail . . . and a toad in the road, and a fuss on the bus. In fact, one thing leads to another until just about everything that can go wrong does go wrong. Luckily, there’s a breakdown train with a couple of cranes that can fix a big mess (and they don’t mind the rain).
