The Book of Fatal Errors by Dashka Slater

Rufus makes mistakes and he thinks of them as being fatal errors.  He tries hard not to but he has no luck.  Then he gets a unique train from his Grandfather and when he rings the bell he suddenly finds himself seeing fairies!

Macmillan Children's Publishing Group and Net Galley allowed me to read this book for review (thank you).  It will be published July 7th.

He soon finds out not all faeries are nice.  Some are, some hate humans.  They pester his grandfather.  Something living under the barn floor bursts through the floorboards after humans.  That's how Grandpa broke his arm.  Now his dad is talking about selling the place.  Rufus can't let that happen, what would happen to the fairies who live there?

As he tries to find all the train parts, a goblin is trying to steal it from him.  He tries hiding it but that doesn't work.  Can he stop the goblins from invading the fairy world?

This is a good fantasy with lots of characters and lots of excitement.  Young ones should enjoy this fantasy!
