 Bicycle, raised at the Mostly Silent Monastery where the monks are permitted only eight words (yes, no, maybe, help, now, later, sleep, and sandwich) is being sent to the Friendship Factory camp (“Three Guaranteed Friendships or Your Money Back”) to improve her social skills and make friends. Instead she runs away and sets off on an incredible solo cross-country journey to meet her cyclist hero at San Francisco’s Blessing of the Bicycles – encountering en route a host of quirky characters, among them a lonely Civil War ghost. A story about perseverance, sticking to your own goals, and the true art of making friends.   (Dorothy Canfield Fisher Book Award 2019 - 2020)
