I am chuffed to see Wrong Tracks included as one of Booktrust's January recommended reads.
They kindly said: "This enthralling mystery contains a wealth of historical detail and touches on issues of the time, such as political unrest and opposition to the Rail Way. With plenty of twists and turns, it will keep readers guessing until the very end."

Author Ally Sherrick recommends Wrong Tracks
Wrong Tracks is a top pick!
Bounce Marketing, who supply independent bookshops with books, have included Wrong Tracks in their January top picks! Big thanks in particular to rep, Louise Corcoran, who has been promoting my book to fabulous bookshops across the north!
Award-winning historical children’s book author, Ally Sherrick, has very kindly recommended Wrong Tracks with a five star review on her social media profiles.
Ally, whose new book Rebel Heart is out in March, said: “I loved this tale of sparky Edward Entwistle and his convention-defying friend, Prudence and their quest to find out who is trying to derail the attempts of their masters, Robert and George Stephenson to win the famous Rainhill Trials with their loco 'Rocket' and a contract to run the Liverpool-Manchester Rail Way into the bargain.
“Susan does a brilliant job of powering up the mystery and then keeping the excitement at full throttle while seamlessly weaving in fascinating true-life nuggets about the inventors, their strange and wonderful machines and what ordinary people made of these steam-belching monsters as they whizzed through the countryside.
”A great pick to support the Victorians and STEM subjects in schools. A must for all steam-train enthusiasts and anyone who enjoys a ripping good yarn!”
