(2) 4-6 A twelve-year-old orphan girl called Bicycle, raised by a retired nun, cycles solo from Washington, DC, to San Francisco. The odyssey is part travelogue, but mainly the road-trip story's tone is cartoonish, with absurd adults, silly villains, broad satire, and coincidences galore. Beneath the hullaballoo is a heartfelt celebration of the zen of cycling and a sympathetic portrait of an atypical kid who struggles with the art of friendship.
