About This Book

Death train. Go-back, go-back, go-back... the steady sound of the train rushing over the tracks warns Hannah. She and her friends are on a trip that begins as a fun cross-country tour - until they learn what's on the train with them. A coffin. Frog's coffin. His real name was Rodger.
