The Daylight Limited (Hardcover, Illustrated edition)

It's no secret that the Holden family loves trains. When eleven-year-old Tuck Holden dreams that he is riding in a train car made of glass, his family takes his dream seriously. His parents design the first Dome Car and travel to the 1939 New York World's Fair to enter it in the Invention of Tomorrow contest. Although Tuck and his sister, Billie, are supposed to stay behind, they soon find themselves aboard the Daylight Limited, the glamorous train that carries them up the California coast on what becomes the first leg of a thrilling cross-country journey. Exciting adventures await around every turn as Tuck and Billie ride the rails across America toward the World's Fair and a triumphant reunion with their parents.
