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 a new adventure for early chapter-book readers.

 

"Jacobson’s light touch and respect for her audience make the ordinary happenings of a little boy in a small town universal. Young readers just beginning to feel confident with chapter books will identify with Andy and will smile when they find out how his dream comes true. . . Hooray for Andy Shane!"
