Description

When an eight-year-old Australian girl, named Myra, finds a shining yellow motorcycle in the shed, she doesn’t expect it to actually work. It has strange buttons on the display and something like an eyebrow on the headlight.

There is a key in the ignition! Along with her pet bird, Diver, Myra finds herself on an exciting adventure...

Review

This is a wonderful new adventure series, that features eight year old Myra travelling around the world on the magical motorcycle that she finds in the shed of her new house.

On their first adventure, the motorcycle, Myra, and her pet bird Diver all find themselves in Bermuda. But why did the motorcycle take them there? Did it know all along that there was family there that needed their help?

The back of the book features very useful and informative pages about the magic motorcycle, facts about Bermuda and also introduces young readers to the concept of ‘the rich and the poor’.

With bright, colourful illustrations, your junior to middle level readers are sure to enjoy this new series.
