Synopsis: Born in a boxcar on a train bound for Georgia. At least that is what
Papa Steel always told AB'Gale. But now, fifteen years later, the man
who adopted and raised her as his own is missing and it's up to AB'Gale
to find him. Aided only by a motley gang of friends, AB'Gale train hops
her way across the United States in a desperate attempt to find her papa
and put her life and family back the way it was. Her only guide is a
map given to her by a mysterious hobo, with hand written clues she found
hidden in her papa's spyglass. Here is the Great American Adventure in
an alternate steampunk dystopian world, where fifteen-year-old AB'Gale
Steel learns that nothing is as it seems, but instead is shrouded in
secrets and mysteries ... and that monsters come in all shapes and
forms. The Boxcar Baby is the first book of the Steel Roots series.
