Book Overview

This is a perfect middle-grade novel for both boys and girls. Featuring the antics of three boys who are best friends as they try to win a bicycle contest in 1964, the book is hilarious at times, but also has some subtle lessons to teach. It will beautifully show young readers today how integrity was developed during an era gone by.

Sandy Hill Day was held every September to celebrate the founding of the village. It was a call for community spirit, a day when the entire town came together. Each new year introduced a contest that enabled town residents to showcase the past, present, and future, and today's contest was titled, "Bicycles." First prize was $50, and in 1964, you could do a lot with that kind of money.

Eleven-year-old Tom has been dreaming of taking first place in the bike contest for months. Winning the grand prize would be the answer to his problem. With the help of his friends and several unexpected allies, Tom's bike is ready to go. But, when Tom's friends make a split-second decision that could nullify their qualifications for entering the contest, his dream begins to grow into a nightmare. His mother's voice pops into his head, It's not what you have that makes you rich, but what you do that lifts you up. Maybe winning the contest isn't the answer to his problem?

About John W. Nassivera

John W. Nassivera grew up in Hudson Falls, New York. At night and on rainy days, my brothers, sisters, Scott, Bruce, Mark, Darf, and other childhood friends would gather on our front porch to listen to my mother tell stories. Me, my family, and friends were the characters in many of the stories. No matter the challenge, the children on William Street always came out on top. Now as I reflect back, it is apparent to me that I learned some of the most important lessons in life on my front porch. My mom shared the gifts of understanding that things aren't always what they first seem to be, friendships are made over time, we were all born with special gifts to share, when you give to others you are giving to yourself, and life is about making choices for the better of all. The Garden Raid is Nassivera's first novel.
