Summary:

Joan and her younger brother Ben really are on A Journey Far From Home when they take a 48 hour train ride to their home in Illinois from visiting relatives. The two siblings are still very young to be riding a train at ages 12 and 9, and encounter some difficulties along the way. These issues involve potato soup, a photo album, and a search from top to bottom. Will Joan and her brother be able to fight life and death and will they be strong enough to keep up?

I really like your novel so far. I really like the storyline its seems pretty intersting. I liked your beggining sentence of chapter 1. Suggestion: try to write in paragraphs and indent to make it a new paragraph cause it was a tad bit hard for me to see what was next. Other than that Great Job!!
