BIKES MORE IMPORTANT THAN CARS?

That's what happens when gas runs out across the country in Leslie Connor's book Crunch. This "crunch" time finds Dewey, his older sister Lil, his younger brother Vince, and the twins home alone without their parents who are stranded in Canada. Dewey and Vince, who are running the family's bike repair business while their dad is gone, are overwhelmed as everyone is now using bikes for transportation. To make matters worse bike parts start disappearing from the shop. Dewey takes it upon himself to find the culprit and keep the shop running. This is a great family story and a mystery with a scifi twist due to a future that could be ours. You can find Crunch in the New Book Display at the front of the IMC.
