Family friendly fare, following the (mis)adventures of a talking bear from deepest darkest Peru who travels to London, is named after the train station in which he arrives and falls in with the Brown family.

Inoffensive stuff, although Nicole Kidman's Millicent does steer uncomfortably close to scary stuff for the younger viewers ...

What an awesome book! This book tells the story of the Rosati family who live in Tuscany. It alternates back & forth between 1944 & 1955. During WWII, the Rosatis were seen by the local villagers as Nazi sympathizers & many in their village grew to despise them. Then it jumps ahead to '55 as what remains of the family is stalked by a merciless murder who slits the family members throats & the extracts their hearts. All the characters' lives weave together in strange ways. This book will hook you from start to finish.

This was the book I gave out for World Book Night 2014. I had not read it prior to giving it, but I had heard it was good.
It wasn't exactly good, but it wasn't awful either. Honestly nothing much happened. It simply tell the story of the Andreas family. They admittedly don't have a "typical" family, but they deal with very typical family issues... cancer, dishonesty, child-parent dynamics, etc. But unlike typical families serious conversations (& even not so serious ones) were dealt with in Shakespeare quotes.
