You see, way back in 1860, there were no subways, just cobblestone streets. That is, until Alfred Ely Beach had the idea for a fan-powered train that would travel underground. On February 26, 1870, after fifty-eight days of drilling and painting and plastering, Beach unveiled his masterpiece—and throngs of visitors took turns swooshing down the track.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe Secret Subway will wow readers, just as Beach’s underground train wowed riders over a century ago.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA New York Public Library Best Book for Kids, 2016\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51957903098136,"sku":"9780375870712","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0787\/8203\/8296\/files\/9780375870712.jpg?v=1776266837","url":"https:\/\/lushenabooksinc.com\/products\/the-secret-subway","provider":"Lushena","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
