Inside dust jacket
Part German Shepherd, part Airedale, part Labrador, part hound, Normand Higgins has, as he puts it, a long pedigree. And Higgins has ambition. He wants his boy Craig Stanley to be happy.
"If you had steam in your blood, you'd know that happiness is seeing and smelling the smoke, and hearing the steam blow off and the sound of bell and whistle," explains Craig. Ultimate happiness, then, is a summer job at the Midwestern Railroad Operating Museum.
An "expert" on the operation of a Railroad Operating Museum who knows what noses are for, Higgins lands a job, toomascot and official watchdog.
Action swirls about himCraig's troubles with George Adams, who has an uncle on the Board of Directors and a desire to be conductor, vandalism, a train's derailment, the coming of the mysterious Mr. Andy, his own kidnapping, and the dedication of a steam engine by the President of the United States.
Seen from Higgins' perceptive eye, Craig's fifteenth summer is a summer like no other!
