After losing her mother to tuberculosis, 13-year-old Gretta Anderson longs for more than housework and a future in the local mill. She dreams of high school, college-even becoming a reporter like her hero, Nellie Bly. But with a shy streak and a father who expects her to follow the path of all the other girls, those dreams feel far out of reach. Then, in the early hours of May 24, 1911, a train carrying the famous Two Bills Show derails outside Gretta's village-sending wild animals into the streets. Gretta leaps into action, facing down a giant python, a wayward elephant, and her own fears to help restore order. In the chaos, she discovers courage she didn't know she had-and a story worth telling. Set in a time of social change, daring dreams, and traveling Wild West shows, DERAILED is a heartfelt tale of grit, friendship, and finding your voice when it matters most.
