He wants a canvas inside that had supposedly been soaked in the fountain of youth. An avalanche interrupts the ceremony, and in the chaos Brogan tries to steal the golden spike. The mother is killed, but the child is spared and taken in by Mr. Dorian, who reveals that he owns a circus. The mystery is lost in the action.This was an easy book to read and a tough one to review. Along the way he discovers the girl, Maren, is also aboard having joined the circus which performs for passengers going west. A photographer, Mr. Dorian, is there to take pictures of the event. For Will Everett this is simply his life and he must go on a exciting yet dangerous journey across the long train, The Boundless. You certainly won't regret it! An evening that flew by and very little laundry was folded and put away. And they did. Personally, I enjoyed the use of present tense, which really serves to ground the reader in the moment (an interesting tactic for a book that takes place in the past). She takes a Sasquatch tooth that his father had given him, intending to return it when he sees her at the circus. Nonstop action almost from beginning to end featuring avalanches, sasquatches, murder, gigantic people and trains! I DEFINITELY recommend reading this book!!

One of the workers, Brogan, sees the gold spike as an insult, as they have been working for some time without getting paid. But they kept driving it home that she was real, so I eventually went with it All the weird stuff so far did pay off though, because it made me believe in the fountain of youth. The Boundless Summary. This isn't the first Kenneth Oppel book that I've read (or read aloud to my kids) that made me think it would make a fantastic movie. It has a lot of red herrings and things that seem like they should have had more significance in the plot but then are forgotten. While there, he witnesses Brogan, disguised as a train worker, killing one of the guards. When the Ringleader explained that he had to have a portrait done of him on the special canvas to save his life, I remembered how Will had talked about how he wasn't good at portraits, and could just see all the small elements of the story coming together and I loved it! Will gets the key from the guard that unlocks Van Horne’s train car.Brogan chases after Will, but he escapes and ends up in the circus part of the train.
