Bookroo's summary

Thomas the Tank Engine is tasked with transporting a jet engine to the airport. But when the engine accidentally switches on, Thomas becomes the fastest train on the island, challenging Gordon's claim to fame. Can Thomas handle the speed and newfound importance, or will chaos ensue? Discover the thrilling ride as Thomas zooms into unexpected territory, leaving everyone in awe and Gordon in disbelief. Will this accidental adventure change the dynamics on the tracks forever?

From the publisher

Gordon loves to remind everyone that he is the fast and important train. But one day, Thomas is given a very special job: he is taking a jet engine to the airport. When the engine is switched on by accident, suddenly Thomas is the very fast and very important train! Beginning readers will enjoy the simple text full of action words (zip!) and action sounds (zoom!).
