About this item

[Children's Fiction (Ages 10-14) ] Eleven-year-old Suzy Smith knows exactly how the world works. That's science, and Suzy's good at science. But when she wakes in the middle of the night to find a troll building train tracks through her living room, defying all the laws of space and physics, Suzy's world is turned upside down. How is any of this possible? As the trolls explain, it's ''fuzzics,'' which is like physics only fuzzier! Well Suzy has no choice but to sneak on board and wrangle herself a position on the Impossible Postal service, a train that delivers to impossible places -- everywhere from ocean-bottom shipwrecks to Trollville to space! Then, on Suzy's very first delivery -- to the evil Lady Crepuscula of the Obsidian tower -- the package itself begs not to be delivered.
