Nathaniel's Trains

By Diane Bakos

Book Overview

Nathaniel's Trains is the story of a little boy with a big heart. He loves playing with the toy trains his grandfather passed down to him, and is excited when his father takes him to see a real train. They're both disappointed to find the train, the station, the tracks - all abandoned and in disrepair. But Nathaniel comes up with a plan: he'll sell the toy train he loves to try to save the big train, inspiring his whole community. The best thing about it: it's based on the absolutely true story of Nathaniel Guest, who really did save not only an old engine, but brought the entire Colebrookdale Railroad back to life, making it more beautiful than it ever had been.

You might say that little people can have big dreams. Or, as Nathaniel himself would say, "Make no small plans."
