Last Train Home

We’re thrilled to announce the release of Anne Walters’ debut novel, Last Train Home – a story that blends history, adventure, and the courage to change the course of destiny.

In Last Train Home, we meet Alessa Janes, an ordinary school kid who unexpectedly finds herself thrust back in time to 1939, to the start of World War II. Along with her friends, Newton and Ella, Alessa must navigate the complexities of history and take on a mission that could alter the future – saving 250 children on the historic ‘Winton Train’ under German occupation in Czechia.

Will Alessa and her friends succeed in this race against time, or is history set in stone? The journey is full of twists, danger, and an unforgettable adventure!

About the book: Historical fiction with a thrilling twist—perfect for sparking young readers’ enthusiasm for history.
A story of friendship, courage, and resilience amidst one of the most pivotal times in history.

Age group: middle-grade to young adult readers who love adventure, history, and mystery.

As a writer, Anne’s goal is to ignite a passion for reading and history in young people, and we hope Last Train Home will inspire a new generation to explore the past, dream big, and pursue their own aspirations.
