Davies puts his wild cartooning imagination to good use in this book about a boy, his bicycle, and a bully. When Ben gets to school, bully Adrian Underbite takes his bike--then rides it over a cliff. Only Ben can rescue him. Will he? Each line of Davies's work--both text and illustrations--is filled with motion or humor, and usually both.
