Publisher's Summary

Born in a boxcar on a train bound for Georgia. At least, that is what Papa Steel always told AB'Gale. But now, 15 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 handwritten clues she found hidden in her papa's spyglass. Here is the great American adventure in an alternate steampunk dystopian world, where 15-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.
