Description
In this award-winning chapter book, an elderly man reflects upon his childhood and his friendship with a girl named Selva, who comes to Spain from a far-away desert country. The only thing she brought with her was an old, rusty bicycle. Although the other classmates make fun of it, she teaches them to appreciate possessions with meaning, possessions with a past. This is precisely what the narrator does, remembering the profound impact his friendship with Selva has had throughout his life. Beautiful memories last a lifetime, as will the beautiful, unforgettable quality of this novel.
