Becoming the Biking Burketts

Description

Danny Burkett’s life is a mess. His dad drinks too much, his family’s falling apart, and then the unthinkable happens – his best friend Jimmy is seriously injured in a car crash, and his drunk dad is to blame.

With his world spinning, Danny turns to his no-nonsense, Jamaican gran who encourages him with her faith and kindness. But can he and Jimmy ever be friends again? And when his dad comes home from prison, how will Danny be able to forgive him?

As they seek to mend the past, cycling might be just what the Burketts need to become a family again.

A compelling, contemporary story about mistakes, forgiveness and restoration, addressing important social issues in an age-appropriate way.
