'The Girl on the Train' isn’t the only girl on a vehicle in a book title.

Not just The Girl on the Train: All the ways girls travel in book titles

The Girl on the Train type Movie

Since Paula Hawkins released her bestselling novel The Girl on the Train exactly two years ago, an overwhelming number of books have had “girl” in the title. But that’s not all: The Girl on the Train isn’t the only title that used the “girls on vehicles” trend. To celebrate the book’s anniversary, here are some other ways girls travel in book titles past and present.

1. Girl on a Plane by Miriam Moss (2015)

Inspired by The Girl on the Train, perhaps?

2. The Girl on the Boat by P.G. Wodehouse (1922)

This literary great seems to have kicked off the trend.
