The tea is tepid, the oatmeal is tasteless, and the socks are ripe for darning . . . until Aunt Shallot shows up and reveals herself to be anything but the dull relation they were expecting. Instead, she tells her nieces she is Magique, Queen of Magic, and she's on her way to a big show and in need of two willing assistants. As Magique and the Bland sisters board the Uncanny Express, they meet a cast of mystifying characters. And when Magique goes missing, it's up to Jaundice and Kale to solve the mystery--with the help of famous detective Hugo Fromage. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e An inventive story in the tradition of Agatha Christie's \u003ci\u003eMurder on the Orient Express\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eUnintentional Adventures of the Bland Sisters: The Uncanny Express\u003c\/i\u003e has all the whimsy and humor that readers who are looking for an anything-but-bland adventure will love. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKara LaReau\u003c\/b\u003e was an editor for many years before becoming a full-time writer.
