Orphaned Miriam has always been terrified by the sound of THE NIGHT WATCHMAN EXPRESS as it hurtles by her house. The sound of the train gives her nightmares of an underground factory, and a laboratory where brutal experiments take place.
During the day she has very different problems. Her new guardians, the Marchpanes, have arrived with their son, Simon, to live in Miriam’s house. The Marchpanes are plotting to take over her dead father’s business.
As they are both strong willed and stubborn, Miriam and Simon develop an instant dislike for each other. They have to work together, however, in order to solve the mystery of what the Marchpanes are doing with Miriam’s inheritance.

My Review:
When I read the Synopsis for The Night Watchman Express, I truthfully didn’t think I would enjoy this book. After the second chapter I realized that I was terribly wrong. This book is Great! It kicks off and takes you on a fast paced adventure following orphan Miriam with her problems with her new Guardians and let me tell you, the problems just keep escalating. This book was so exciting it was hard to put down. i give this fantastic story 5 out of 5 stars!
