Bicycle wheels take Geronimo from one side of the United States to the other in the thirty-seventh book of the series.
New towns, new characters and a steady supply of setbacks fill the route, and perseverance turns out to matter rather more than speed. The illustrated format and brief chapters make the distance manageable for children, and the changing locations give the story a shape that is easy to follow even across several reading sessions.
Quick facts for buyers:
• A cross-country cycling race used as the spine of the plot
• A changing cast met town by town along the route
• Perseverance and cooperation tested by repeated setbacks
• A chapter structure that survives being read a few pages at a time
