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?

Somehow, word has gotten around that Marvin is going to ride his bike down "Suicide Hill." This expectation only crystallizes Marvin's fears: of the hill, of his big new mountain bike, of wimping out. And as fears tend to do, they take over every waking minute of Marvin's life. Sachar excels at the narrative counterpoint that keeps this kind of everyday-life story on its toes. Marvin triumphs, but in a way that neither he nor readers expect.(Copyright 2001 by The Horn Book, Incorporated, Boston. All rights reserved.)
