Title: Ellery's Magic Bicycle
Author: Maria Monte
Publisher: BooksGoSocial
Pages: 38
Publication Date: May 2nd, 2022
Inspired by the author's own childhood adventures, this heartfelt story will take readers on a whimsical journey through Ellery's childhood with her magical bicycle in tow. Ellery and her bicycle share many wonderful new adventures together; lonely yet curious Ellery finds adventure, love, and friendship, as well as weathering sorrow and loss.
When she grows up, Ellery starts to forget her special bond with the bicycle. Will Ellery remember what's important before it's too late and the magical bicycle is lost forever?
Today we have a book that has a 3 triquetra rating of "I liked it."
The story starts off with a young Ellery finding a magical bike that interacts with her. The bike has accompanied her throughout her childhood, and can even grow with her as she grows older!
We follow Ellery's story until there is a big jump and she's now a mother. I did think that the hard jump from teenager to mother was a little jarring. If we could have had a bit more transition that would have been fantastic.
Eventually Ellery forgets about the bike - we do have a happily ever after ending though!
Overall, this was a quick read at 38 pages, great for a bedtime story, perhaps even a good story for upcoming Earth Day about caring for our things instead of letting them go to the dump?
