Synopsis

This book tells the thrilling story of steam engine No. .007 on its first day on the job.

But the day does not go as .007 had planned, and a series of mishaps and accidents quickly deflate its ego. As the day goes on, .007 learns the real meaning of teamwork, perseverance, and humility. The author's vivid descriptions and engaging storytelling style keep the reader on the edge of their seat from beginning to end.
