(2) 1-3 Stepping Stone series. Illustrated by Amy Wummer. Somehow, word has gotten around that Marvin is going to ride his bike down "Suicide Hill." This expectation only crystallizes Marvin's fears: of the hill, of his big new mountain bike, of wimping out. And as fears tend to do, they take over every waking minute of Marvin's life. Sachar excels at the narrative counterpoint that keeps this kind of everyday-life story on its toes. Marvin triumphs, but in a way that neither he nor readers expect.
