Boyznbikes by Vince Ford
This book is unashamedly for the boys. It is all about motorcycles, motorcycle racing, and motorcycle riding. If there happens to be a short story about a half sister, or a mother in trouble, the purpose of the distraction is to give Callum and his father an excuse to ride a little further or a little faster.
That doesn’t mean it’s a bad read. Callum’s antics at school are truly funny as well as getting him suspended so he can go with his Dad on his annual trek. And Maddy is tough enough to hold her own place in the story. Mum’s disappearance is handled lightly enough to be plausible and not purely a transparent plot device.
But the book is all about the bikes!
