The Big Ol' Bike

De: Rachael Clarke

Narrado por: Tricia Allen

Big things are happening in Little Springs...

Everything about Oliver is small, from his footprint to his glasses. And a 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.

The Big Ol' Bike is a contemporary slice of life for ages 7-10. It's filled with characters who could live down the street from you or have a locker beside yours at school. Come hang out with Oliver, Austin, and Sue, as they experience excitement, setbacks, and adventure together. Themes of bullying, family, friendship, confidence, and community are explored. Longer than average for this age range, The Big Ol' Bike is transitional between chapter books and middle grade novels. It's an equally perfect choice for eager listeners who fly through audiobooks, and kids who enjoy taking it chapter by chapter.

Warning: Listening to this book may cause an immediate and urgent need to ride your bike. Don't be alarmed. The feeling will pass soon enough. But don't let it.
