Big things are happening in Little Springs...Everything about Oliver is small, from his footprint to his glasses, and trio of bullies never let him forget it. When Oliver receives his grandfather's old bike for his birthday, he rides tall for the first time. But the meanest bully in school doesn't like that at all. Oliver quickly finds himself challenged to a race. Now, he'll have to be bigger than he ever imagined in order to prove heroes come in small packages too.Hang out with Oliver, Austin, and Sue, as they experience excitement, setbacks, and adventure in this contemporary slice of life written for readers aged 7-10. The Big Ol' Bike is meant to be transitional between chapter books and middle grade novels, making it an equally enjoyable choice for readers who fly through the pages, or for those who enjoy taking it chapter by chapter. Themes of bullying, family, friendship, community support, and finding confidence are all explored.WARNING: Reading this book may cause an immediate and urgent need to ride your bike. Do not be alarmed. The feeling will pass... But don't let it.
