About this book

When young Danny Harris knocks a witch into a ditch, she puts a spell on his bike: "Like it or lump it, lump it or like, ride on forever, little tike!" Suddenly the bike comes alive and nothing Danny can do will stop it. 

"Brian Patten's brilliant poetry for children is given a handsome outing in this endearing story. By the normal standards of children's verse this is an epic poem, a long saga about Danny Harris and his unstoppable bike." - Independent
