All aboard! for Engineer Ari’s third ride on his historic Israeli train.

The story ends on the recurring Hanukkah note of miracle, this time stressing discoveries, especially friendship, more than scant oil. Author and illustrator bring a new adventure with old friends. The usual warm, fact-packed historical note ends the fiction.
