I have read this title with my ten years old daughter and we both loved it so much.
We haven't read the first book so we went blind into the story. That being said, it didn't make too much difference as we could figure out what type of characters we have in Bicycle.
Finding out that you have no less than 4 twin brothers and some very protective parents. There was so much to discover and enjoy with this story. From some very reliable scenes to some unbelievable ones but it's all fiction so we can get over those easily.
Beautiful writing and story about courage, friendship and family that readers from all ages will enjoy

I didn't know this was a sequel so I had to do a lot of mental catching up but it was so fun. Middle grade stories bring me so much joy but this one especially because the main character's passion is so apparent and vibrant!

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for an opportunity to read this digital eARC.

What a delightful middle grade story this was! A very interesting premise - our main character, Bicycle, who readers met in the prior book, discovers her long lost family. She's got 4 identical sisters, but also extremely overprotective parents, which makes me a lot of adjustments and some prodding on her end for them to embrace their adventurous sides as much as she has.

I adored the family dynamics, and also enjoyed Bicycle's interactions with her beloved bike. Her bike has family members too! It was fun to see both Bicycle and Fortune find their families.

A quirky cast of characters, an array of adventures, and some valuable lessons learned, this was a run read. Suitable for younger middle grade readers too - I think my 8 year old would enjoy this one!

It was such a joy to meet up with Bicycle again. Her story takes another unusual twist as she discovers her long lost family. While this book doesn't shy away from difficult subjects such as unexpected transitions, dealing with previous abandonment, and the fears of overbearing parents, the sheer quirkiness of the characters, including talking bikes, and unusual settings such as a commune for families with multiples, i.e. twins, triplets, etc. make this so much fun to read. While it's possible to follow the story without having read the first book, I do think it will be enjoyed most by those who made Bicycle's acquaintance in "The Adventures of a Girl Called Bicycle". Highly recommended.

Thank you to Holiday House, Margaret Ferguson Books and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review. #netgalley

This is a sweet middle grade story about struggling to gain an independence from the parents while parents are still holding up. It's about growing up and learning to have an interdependent relationship with our parents evolve as young child growing into a young adult.

I recieved a free eARC of this book so I could read it, Thank you for the opportunity.

In this cute MG book, the girl called Bicycle meets her birth family. Unfortunately, her mother is so worried after losing Bicycle that she doesn't want to give the kids the freedom they need. Bicycle, the intelligent bike Fortune, and lots of plotting and family to the rescue.

This is an adorable book that middle grade kids, particularly those who don't feel they have quite as much freedom as they would like, will enjoy. It is appropriate for school and classroom libraries,
