Synopsis

After losing their house to foreclosure, three siblings - India, Finn and Mouse - have less than twenty-four hours to pack their belongings and fly, without their mother, to stay with an uncle in Colorado.

But when they land, a mysterious driver meets them at the airport in a pink car adorned with feathers. He has never heard of their Uncle Red.

Like Dorothy in Oz, they find themselves in an unknown place, with no idea of how to get home. Time is running out . . .

About this title

Review:

'This book is a masterpiece . . . Al Capone Does My Shirts is wonderfully told and deserves praise galore' (Guardian)

Praise for No Passengers Beyond This Point

'Like her bestselling Al Capone Does My Shirts, No Passengers Beyond This Point is literary and relatable. Each character is distinct, presenting a worldview that is age-appropriate and linguistically authentic . . . Simultaneously heartwarming and spirited, No Passengers takes readers on an unexpected journey about the importance of family, no matter what happens' (Los Angeles Times)

'A gripping adventure from a talented author' (Creative Steps)

'A teenage novel unlike any other . . . Well written, sometimes eccentric, this strange story is not always easy to follow but is certainly worth the effort' (Books for Keeps)

Book Description:

A journey takes a surprising twist in this original and brilliant new novel by Carnegie-Medal-shortlisted author Gennifer Choldenko
