JIM BUTTON AND THE WILD 13

Can you make an old locomotive fly? You bet! To protect Morrowland from the notorious pirate
gang “The Wild 13”, Jim Button and his best friend, the engine driver Luke, make Emma
airworthy and set off on a dangerous journey, where Jim’s most fervent wish might come true:
to find out the truth about his mysterious origins.

Dark clouds are gathering over the tranquil island of Morrowland, the home of twelve-year old Jim and
his best friend, the engine driver Luke: the notorious pirate gang “The Wild 13” has learned that the
dragon Mrs Grindtooth has been conquered by Jim and Luke and now swears revenge! To protect
Morrowland from another threat, the two of them set off with their steam engines Emma and Molly on
a dangerous journey where Jim's most fervent wish might also come true: he wants at last to find out
the truth about his mysterious origins.
