| Summary, Etc. |
Aspiring investigative reporter Marilyn witnesses one of the greatest money heists in history...but will she be able to collect enough evidence for anyone to believe what she saw? For fans of I Survived and Nathan Hale's Hazardous Tales but with a true crime twist, read about the Great Train Robbery of 1963 in this I Witnessed graphic novel. Marilyn is in for an unforgettable trip when she sneaks aboard a Royal Mail train from Glasgow to London on the night of August 7, 1963. While Marilyn's focused on her writing portfolio and convincing Dad not to ship her to boarding school, the night takes a turn when she witnesses more than a dozen masked men board the train. What Marilyn didn't know when she snuck aboard was that this Mail Train was transporting over 2 million in cash. The robbers detain the crewmen, seize control of the train, and then abscond into the night with their bounty...but thanks to Marilyn, they won't make it out scot-free. Inspired the true events, Marilyn's story offers a fictional kid POV rooted in historical facts about the heist and the subsequent trial. Case fact sidebars offer additional nonfiction elements to the story.
