Synopsis

This chapter book in Newbery Honor-winning and bestselling author Louis Sachar's Marvin Redpost series is all about daredevils and conquering your fears!

Everyone says that Marvin is going to ride his new mountain bike down Suicide Hill. And everyone is coming to watch him do it--his friends, his family, even his older brother. But the truth is, Marvin can't climb onto the seat without wobbling. And shifting gears? Braking? Forget about it! What's Marvin going to do?

Hilarious and relatable, Marvin Redpost is perfect for kids who love to bond with quirky characters like Junie B. Jones and George Brown, Class Clown.

About this title

Review:

"Aside from being resoundingly funny, Sachar has a rare honesty about what children really encounter in the world".

-- The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

From the Back Cover:

Botched bike races and broken noses...

Suicide Hill is the stuff of legends. Many have tried to master the slippery slopes on their bikes, but few have succeeded. The word at school is that Marvin will be taking on the hill with his new mountain bike. But the truth is, he can barely climb onto the seat! And shifting gears -- forget about it. How did he suddenly become a daredevil? Does he have to ride down Suicide Hill to prove himself? If Marvin makes it, he'll be a hero. If not, his friends and family will catch the biggest wipeout in history!
