Danny is a young teenage boy who moves around a lot and recently lost his mother and sister in a car wreck. After totaling his bike running from bullies Danny meets a shape-shifting alien and saves him from being captured, and in return is given a magical bicycle as a gift for doing so. The magic bicycle can also shape-shift and is powered by imagination.
A journey through space and time on a magic bicycle with a talking cat, facing big decisions and moral dilemmas against deep emotions. Non stop excitement from beginning to end, vividly imagined with good moral and life lessons, and age appropriate. I really enjoyed this book.
I won this book in a Goodreads giveaway! English This is one of my favorite books. A great story and pretty quick read. I had a hard time finding a copy of this book once I loaned out my first copy. It is the story of a young pre-teen boy who has experienced a tragady in his life. He then meets someone that changes his life. A young reader book but very good. William Hill is considered a local author here. There is a second book in this series called Chasing Time. Hill also has a vampire novel about this area. It involves the area that was flooded when TVA built a dam therefor creating a lake. Kinda cool book if you are familiar with the area. English I gave this book to my nephew to read. He said the cover needs to be more appealing. I also read this book. I thought is had good core principles and lessons. English A biblical allegory full of fantasy and friendships, heroism and suspense, and full of basic values that both conservatives and liberals can agree upon. English I loved how well this book was written .. It had a very good story about friendship and imagination and loved how well it was written .. English
A young adult reader book with core principles and lessons theme. Danny is dealing with some heavy issues and a new parental figure causes even more issues.
I think this book could do with some better editing, a better book cover to appeal to a young reader and a much better description for those who might be interested in reading it. The author sent me second book in the series as well so thank you very much for that and the giveaway through goodreads. English I won this book in a giveaway. I thought the premise sounded fun and unique and would be a good book for my son once I read it first. I was surprised at all the themes in it, from a grieving distant father to guilt over deaths to bullying to time and choices of whether to change things to friendship to geniuses in the past to the power of imagination and making your own magic. It was such a great way to approach all of them and a wonderful hopeful ending with closure in the most important areas. I didn’t expect to be into it but I really cared about the characters and even teared up towards the end. Danny is a great kid and very empathetic. The way he deals with things that are very relatable and things that aren’t (like a new alien friend, a magical bicycle, and choices involving time travel) is believable and sweet. Besides a few words I’ll substitute when reading for my son, it is a great book for middle schoolers and beyond. It’s thought-provoking and well thought out with lots of heart and fun, and I’m very glad I won it! English First off, I want to say while the cover is dated, I absolutely love it. I do feel updated cover art for this book could appeal more to the current generation than the cover this novel has now. Personally, the very quirky cover is what attracted me to this book, and ultimately led to me reading it, but I am also quite strange. (I love cats too!)
Now onto the actual content of the book, this story is unique, and interesting. The main character Danny goes through a lot of trauma, which I am not going to go in detail about as it is kind of a spoiler, in the middle of one of these traumatic events, things start to get weird, and I mean WEIRD.
The weirdness is what I love about this story, I would say this book is what most people would call out-there. I don't think I've ever read a book quite like this, yes there are other similar stories, but this one just has something different about it. It's magical, mystical, and fantastic.
I personally deal with things that are hard for me with otherworldly metaphors, and imagining things as different than they are. This book kind of fuels that thought process.
After Danny goes through these traumatic events he gets thrown into a world of aliens, a talking cat, and a magic bicycle to name a few. While in these fantasy situations, there is kind of an evaluation process as he works through his issues with mystical things instead of the harsh realities. Which in some cases can help deal with trauma as you don't have to talk or think about the very things that traumatized you directly, bringing back memories, and making things worse.
I feel this book sends an excellent message, and deals with many struggles that kids and teens do legitimately experience. I feel like this book can serve as a tool to promote healthy coping mechanisms as well. Overall, I found this book to be a very good read, and I highly recommend it. English i have learned that there is a lot of mythical stuff to read in this book and its fun! English I think that this book was ok... It wasn't one of those books that i counldn't stop reading and wondering what was going to happen next. I think that a person that likes to read a lot of fiction books, I think that person should read it. English
