When they found the seemingly abandoned town of Harrington, Gwen and her pack bunkered down for the night in the front room of a house. But when they were challenged by a man holding a pitchfork, Gwen let him know they were friends. After helping the family for a few days, Gwen and the pack moved on to catch a train the old man had told them about. But there were soldiers on board, so they had to be careful.
After a stop in the wilderness, Gwen was astounded to see crates and crates of different animals, birds and creatures being loaded on board the train. Caitlin, in charge of the loading and an old nemesis of Gwen’s, mustn’t find them there or they would all be captured. But how could they set the animals free as well as arrive at the destination they were after?
Animal Train: Wolf Girl 6 is the latest installment in the Wolf Girl series by Aussie author Anh Do, and it was another great adventure for the friends. As always, the soldiers are nearby and a danger to Gwen and her pack, but between them all, they manage to escape their clutches. Will Gwen ever find her parents again? Another excellent Wolf Girl episode, in a series perfect for those aged 9+. Recommended.

A few days after saying goodbye to Rupert, Gwen and her pack are on their way to Tunny, where Rupert’s parents said they saw Gwen’s Mum. On their way, they stop in Harrington, where they meet the Wilsons.
Then they board a train, which has a bunch of soldiers and carriages full of animals in cages. Gwen and her pack need to do whatever they can to avoid the soldiers but they also can’t imagine leaving animals behind in captivity.
The train journey reminded me of Indiana Jones’ encounter with the snakes on his own train journey in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Neither Indy nor his father would have been thrilled about the contents of some of the cages. Also, arachnophobes, beware!
Gwen’s hair gets brushed for possibly the first time since before the series began and in the process meets some humans who aren’t trying to capture her and her pack. Thank goodness there are still some nice people in this world.
I’ve been pretty adamant (with myself, at least) that I wasn’t going to read this book. Every book in this series includes at least one of the pack getting injured and I know that’s life, but I don’t want to read about dogs in pain and potential mortal danger.
I relented with this book because I needed to know if an animal whose survival previously had a question mark hanging over it would come back or not. I’m thrilled to report that they are in fact alive but I’m also sad that the expectation of dogs being hurt in every book played out here as well.
Of course, there’s a cliffhanger at the end of the book, as there always is.
There’s a bonus story featuring Wolf Girl and Skydragon at the end of the book. This also ends in a cliffhanger. I still don’t know how I feel about these two series being set in the same world.

If you're terrified of Spiders like me then I would suggest you ask someone to cover the pictures from page 107-121

This book continues the story of Gwen, who is trying to find her parents. In this story, Gwen is smarter in her thinking and confident in her skills. Can't wait to read # 7.

Gwen (Wolf Girl) is missing Rupert as part of their pack, even if it's just someone human to talk to.
Her and her pack of dogs and Sunrise (a very large wolf), have kept out of trouble and kept themselves fed from the forests that they are hiding in and travelling through.
They come across a small town. It looks abandoned, with paint peeling, and no sign of humans except tyre tracks going out of town. Immediately Wolf Girl is alert. Are these tracks from the soldier's trucks? Suddenly they discover they're not alone when an old man appears, threatening them with a pitchfork!
Wolf Girl's skills with animals and people keep everyone calm and they are soon friends. They give her tantalising information that might help her in her endless quest to find her parents. There is another small town she must get to, and there is a fast if not dangerous way to get there.
Dangerous is right! They are all soon on a train, heading in the right direction, full of soldiers and a whole lot more than they'd bargained for. Again and again, Wolf Girl and her pack work together in terrifying and alarming situations. Again and again they only survive with a hair to spare!
Another tension packed instalment of Wolf Girl and her loyal pack following the clues they find or learn, to locate Gwen's parents. Together as always they help a starving baby, fight the enemy aboard a speeding train, and find a lost friend.
With one surprise after another, your heart will be racing as the action intensifies. Bursting with illustrations which bring Wolf Girl and her mighty pack to life, Wolf Girl 6 is just as good as the very first episode.
A sealed Bonus story is in the rear of the book for keen Wolf Girl fans.

Anh Do has got a winner with this series, and I agree with all the great reviews of the series as a whole. But I have a problem with the presentation of setting exotic animals free into the wild as acceptable and even heroic.
It’s not. I know this is a kids’ book and disbelief must be suspended.
But books are also educational, and kids need to know that a lot of those animals will not be able to survive as the northern forests are not their native habitats. They will not be able to find suitable food and shelter.
Those that do thrive will become feral pests.
It would’ve been a better ending to have Gwen alert the authorities and have the animals safely delivered to experts who could deal with them in a responsible way.

My favourite part of this book was the parts when the wild cat was featured, because I love cats. Gwen could see that the wild cat was scared, being locked up in the cage but there was nothing she could do to save her.

Good book but very fast paced so much so that it felt that the ideas were not fleshed out to the full capability. This resulted in an interesting plot but a very rushed feeling and lack of depth that left something to be desired.

Really exiting and I liked the fact that it was set on a train full of animals.

I enjoyed the story, but am starting to find the plotlines repetitive and the lack of information about the world frustrating.
This is another story where Gwen rescues animals, routs the enemy, and gets a clue about where her parents are, but we find out nothing further about where her country is, who it was invaded by, and why it was invaded.
I'm glad I decided to stick with the series though, as the opening pages of the next book (#7 Crash Course) finally deliver those answers!
