The Christmas Express: An Out of Time Christmas Novella (Book 3) by Monique MartinMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
It's Christmas Eve and the Cross family (Simon, Elizabeth, and their daughter Charlotte) are just playing a competitive game of Scrabble when a knock at the door precedes their latest mission. The writer Samuel Clemens (aka Mark Twain) has unknowingly acquired one of the time travelling watches and the Crosses must somehow replace it with a harmless replica before Mr Clemens' natural curiosity leads him to play with the buttons at the wrong time.
Hence the Crosses travel back to 1898 and board a cross-country train on which Mr Clemens is a passenger bound to San Francisco. The family have numerous scrapes and adventures, but it will take all their charm and ingenuity to part Mr Clemens from his watch before the next eclipse.
I had no idea there were Christmas novellas and I can't believe I've missed them all this time. This one was discounted to 99p and such a bargain.
