4.0 out of 5 stars The Disappearing Bike Shop, January 9, 2004

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Disappearing Bike Shop (Library Binding)

This is a good mystery book to read. Its about a disappearing and reappearing bike shop in a vacant lot. A kid name Tyler and his best friend Freckle see a bike shop walking on the way home from school. They have walked that street many years and not once have they ever seen a bike shop. They don't know if they ever will get brave enough to go into Mr.Quigley's bike shop. They promised Mr.Quigley to not tell anybody about his secret bike shop. What you don't know is that Tyler is in for a rough time. He gets partnered with a bully at school name Viking. They have to work on a Leonardo da Vinci project. As viking starts to hear about the bike shop Tyler and Freckle start to think about artist and inventors and think a wizard type shopkeeper could be Vinci himself. As the book starts to turn into a more mystery book Mr.Quigley gets more suspicious. Woodruff is trying to trick you in some points. You will have to find out for yourself to know what happens next in the book.

3.0 out of 5 stars How Large Builds Disappear in Blink of an Eye., January 9, 2002

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Disappearing Bike Shop (Turtleback)

Tyler and Freckle always rode their bike through town, by the bike shop. They would do this a lot, but one day when they rode by the building it began to rise and disappear before their eyes. When the building reappeared they took their chances and entered Quigley's Bike Shop. It seems that Quentin Quigley does more than bike repair. The boys discovered a secret room filled with unusual artwork and inventions. They wondered about Mr. Quigley's true identity. Before they could find out, Tyler and Freckle got trapped in one of Mr. Quigley's inventions. They traveled back through time wondering if they would be stranded in the past forever.
