Dizzy Fantastic and Her Flying Bicycle

Fourth-grader Debbie Fine is teased at school, clings to an imaginary twin sister, and feels invisible. Then one terrifying afternoon her bicycle takes flight—and Debbie becomes Dizzy Fantastic, secret fourth-grade superhero. But real heroism turns out to be more complicated than capes and daring rescues. As Debbie befriends a gruff neighbor, a bowl-cut classmate, and a slobbering dog, she learns that flying can't save everyone—and that the people who love her are the greatest adventure of all.

• A relatable, imperfect heroine kids will root for—no popular-girl fantasy here, just a bullied outsider who dreams big.
• A flying bicycle: the perfect wish-fulfillment hook wrapped around a real story about friendship and loss.
• Handles the death of a beloved friend with tenderness—a gentle first introduction to grief for young readers.
• Laugh-out-loud 'angry red bees' gag and a peanut-butter-loving dog make it fun even as it tugs the heart.

“"From now on," she said, "they'll need to keep the skies clear for . . . for Dizzy Fantastic!"”

Perfect for an imaginative 8-to-11-year-old who feels like an outsider and loves stories about ordinary kids with secret powers and big hearts.
