A bicycle-decorating contest provides Andy with a humorous and highly
appreciated opportunity to save the hometown parade.
There are two things Andy Shane wants more than anything -- to win the
contest for best-decorated bike in the parade, and . . . to be a hero.
He has a great idea for the bike part, although high-strung Dolores is
upping the ante with her paper-daisy-covered helmets for her and her
cat. But the second goal has Andy stumped, until the parade is in motion
and his eagle eyes catch the reason why the drum corps has suddenly
thrown the marchers out of whack. Pass the baton to a lovably low-key
hero as he saves the day in an adventure for early chapter-book readers.
