Okay! So, where was I? Oh yes! In the last article I was reviewing the amazing book series, Silly Nomads. I am writing about books one, three, and five, and you will have to read books two and four.
It all starts off when Suhcrom and Naddih get the idea to go “bike flying.” Borrowing Nigel’s “super” bike, the brothers, Sterlin, Rodney, Desreen, and Muffet go to the school that was previously under-construction to go and fly Nigel’s bike. Using six cinder blocks and a large piece of wood, they create a ramp in front of a hill. Taking turns and starting on the bike near the middle of the hill, they push off gaining momentum and shoot across the ramp and flying into the air and doing stunts.
Things change direction when Rodney decides to start at the top of the hill. Despite his friend’s warnings he doesn’t listen and gets sent flying higher than the others then falls off the bike and falls face-first in the dirt with the bike lying in a heap, broken beside him.
On the way to Nigel’s house to tell him what happened Rodney finds a dollar bill. They decide to go to Mr Burke and use the money to pay him to fix the bike. When Nigel finds out his bike is broken, he felt distressed because on Saturday he has his first race. Does he get it fixed? I guess we have to wait and see.
