The White Bicycle

The White Bicycle
Beverley Brenna
Fiction B7506

The White Bicycle follows the story of Taylor Jane Simon, a fictional teen with Asperger's syndrome who travels to the south of France for summer work. Striking images of the French countryside frame a journey toward independence in which Taylor draws on memories of her past to make sense of the present. An impossible mother, a confusing job, the worry of potentially acquiring two new siblings, and a meeting with a surprising new mentor are among the themes woven into this coming-of-age story. Readers will find Taylor's search for identity personal as well as universal.
