In the book The Vanishing Station by Ana Ellickson, a fiction fantasy book, the main character Ruby Santos is an 18 year old Filipino-American girl living with her father in San Francisco. Where she uncovers a secret that slowly unravels the world her father tried to protect her from. She learns that trains hold much more meaning than she thought, and might be the key to the escape that her late mother always wanted for her.

This was a phenomenal book. I recommend this book for anyone looking for a long interesting read. I found the title intriguing and I was not disappointed. This book takes the reader on an exciting adventure with a hint of romance. I gave this book 5 stars because the main character struggles are displayed perfectly and the main character growth journey is very well written.
