Murielle Couëslan, Director "Like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, with trains! A richly imagined world, a headlong treasure hunt, characters with everything to lose ‒ high adventure and friendship, ages 11 and up."

Budapest-born Meli gets her world turned upside down when she turns 13. Like all orphans her age, she is invited to take part in a pan-European treasure hunt: the race for the Adamant! Meli is given a railvisa that enables her to live like the rich travelers crisscrossing Europe aboard enormous, fantastical trains.
But for some orphans, the race is more than a game, and they'll stop at nothing to recover the pieces of the puzzle that indicates the treasure's location. It's rumored that even the dreaded Lafcadio is in the running…
