The Silver Arrow, 2

"A lot has changed for Kate in a year. She and Tom are now full-fledged conductors of the steam-powered, animal-saving Great Secret Intercontinental Railway. But having a secret identity isn't always as easy as it looks. Kate's uncle Herbert has gone missing, and the climate crisis isn't getting any better. More and more animals seem to need help. So Kate goes rogue. With a cassowary and a wolverine for companions, she takes the <i>Silver Arrow</i> out on an unsanctioned mission to find Uncle Herbert and bring back balance to the world. But she quickly discovers a mysterious train called the <i>Golden Swift</i> is riding the rails, with an agenda of its own. Is it a friend or foe?" --Book jacket
