[At some point during one of the nights later in the week, Nita tries to enter this into another car's shop vendor as quietly as possible:]

Hugs for Voidtrains

[Because maybe she should just... read to the train??? Emotions come out more easily for her when she's sharing something, rather than trying to press those feelings into words.

Unless it's spells, and that's not an option at the moment.]

No book with that title found.

Please type title here:

[Okay, train, that was the non-embarrassing option...]

Merry Little Voidtrain series

[After whatever this rabbit hole yields, Nita's just going to purchase-and-flee.]

[voidtreckermods]

[And what a rabbit hole it is. There are a lot of Merry Little Voidtrain books.

728 to be precise. At least in the main series.

Then a 200 book spin off called Merry Little Voidtrain and Friends

A 32 book series called Merry Little Voidtrain: Void of Adventure

And 10 books in a series called. My first Merry Little Voidtrain Adventures.]

120->80

[unfavorableinstigation]

[Would that the 'random' function could be limited to a specific series...

Nita gets five books, selecting from the subsections seemingly at random.]

Thank you for your purchase, it will be available to collect at the next station.

Merry Little Voidtrain: A Small Problem sees Kheli and the train shrunk down and exploring a mushroom kingdom with the help of a motley team of tiny freedom fighters.

Merry Little Voidtrain Takes A Dive is an underwater adventure where Kheli and the train are seeking treasure amidst a coral reef on behalf of a pirate's great-great-great-great-great-granddaughter.

Merry Little Voidtrain and Friends: On The Rails Again is a relatively long book that introduces several recurring characters from the original series as an ensemble of passengers, and has more of an attempt at setting up an overarching plot involving Kheli's homeworld. It's unclear what that plot will turn out to be just from reading this first book, however.

Merry Little Voidtrain: Void of Adventure 14 revisits key locations in the MLV canon, apparently by popular demand, but written for an older audience, using more of a teen vocabulary. This book revisits a location from MLV volume 542 (cited in a footnote), a bustling Void market world, and discusses the economy and fiscal responsibility, but not in those terms.

My First Merry Little Voidtrain Adventures is apparently for much younger children, given the bright, basic shapes of the cover and the reduced number of words per page. This, the third book, retells the first meeting of Kheli and the train, albeit very simply, and appears to be teaching readers to introduce themselves.
