CRITIC'S CORNER

“Life with family is too stifling for a daring young motorcyclist, eager to try his wheels ... a funny story with a sympathetic hero.”

School Library Journal

“The same combination of simplicity, realistic detail, ingenuity, and humor that made The Mouse and the Motorcycle a resounding success.”

The Horn Book

“Cleary again successfully combines fantasy and reality.”
