In this, the second book of the Two Graces series, Grace's cousin Leo comes to stay for a few weeks. During this time, Grace, Leo and the twins formed their own modern day version of the Fearless Four. By chance, they discovered that the school bully had put together a devious plan to wreck the nativity play and the Fearless Four decided to intervene.... Leo went back home for Christmas and this coincided with Grace and Pop enjoying the Santa Special, another train trip which was pulled by the Prince of Iceland. However, the story that Grace heard this time was not what she was expecting…. but it was just a thrilling as before.

In this, the first book of The Two Graces series we introduce the main characters. Pop is Grace’s grandpa and she is convinced that he is the best grandpa in the whole world. He has hundreds of stories that span his long and eventful life and Grace loves nothing better than to sit quietly with Pop and listen to these tales. One day, during Grace’s long summer holiday from school, Pop took Grace on a memorable trip on an old train that was pulled by a magnificent old steam locomotive. During this trip, Pop’s story seemed to come to life and Grace felt that she was somehow transported back to the 1930’s. The big questions were….. Did it happen? Did she travel back in time? Or was she just sent into a dream by the rhythmic sound of the train as it went clickety clack, wheels on the track, clickety clack, wheels on the track…… Whatever the answer was, Grace just hoped for one thing, please let it happen again. It was the best adventure ever!

In this, the third book of the Two Graces series, Leo makes a surprise return and shares some exciting news with Grace. Then, a ghost hunt that Grace organises goes slightly wrong and backfires on her, teaching Grace a valuable lesson. Pop organises a last minute trip on the New Year’s Special which was pulled by the Prince of Iceland. Although Grace was getting used to the unexpected, what happened this time really blew her mind.

In this book, the fourth of The Two Graces series, we see Grace’s and Molly’s friendship being well and truly put to the test. But with a little help from Pop, everything works out in the end. Leo comes to stay again and this time he is going to make the move for good. Grace can hardly believe her luck as the modern day Fearless Four are now a permanent item. Good old Toby Brown arranged for Pop, Grace and Leo to visit the engine sheds where they keep the Prince of Iceland. They enjoyed a picnic lunch in one of the old carriages during this trip and Pop told them the long awaited story of the village cricket match from many years ago. As well as having a much unexpected ending, Grace and Leo were, once again, able to witness the events first hand.

Just as the modern day Fearless Four dreaded, the Scruffs were not good losers. Once they had worked out how their Easter sabotage mission was thwarted, things became quite scary. They made it very clear that they were intent on getting their own back. But the Scruffs hadn’t reckoned on the ingenuity of the Fearless Four – plus a little help from Pop and Toby. Then the future of the Prince of Iceland was in jeopardy, and there was no way that Grace was going to let anything happen to the old Prince without a fight. The trip on the May Day special was probably the most exciting, and dangerous, so far.
