He heads out the hospital door, no permission asked, and finds a train-won't any train do? Francie finds himself making a speedy tour (in the opposite direction from home) around the Emerald Isle, a journey full of adventure, laughter, and endearing friendships for Francie and the reader. Illustrated by the author.
