June was a trying month for Lukas - a month of endless waiting. Once school was done for the year, Lukas would join his cousin KC on "The Farm," where his father and his Uncle Ben had grown up. Uncle Ben had just bought a new horse named Nugget. Now both KC and Lukas had a horse to ride, and a summer full of adventure beckoned.

But then KC told Lukas about something new. A "ghost train" had been sighted, running on the branch line not far from The Farm. And not just any ghost train. This was the Ghost Train, a train with ties to Lukas' very own family, a train long absent but now mysteriously reappearing when the moon was full.

The terrifying Wîhtikow Rex takes centre stage in this exciting second book in The Lukas Encounters. The mysterious creature, a Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton that Lukas and his cousin KC accidentally bring to life, is described in Cree mythology as a ravening monster that grows as it consumes its victims.
