A review by abigailbat
Girl on a Motorcycle by Amy Novesky

Hmm... I'm not entirely sure what I think about this one. I have had some picture book readers looking for "adventure books" and I think I would try this on them, although it's a bit quiet for an adventure. The true story of Anne-France Dautheville who, at age 28, rode around the world solo on a motorcycle, this is a book that celebrates strength and travel and the feel of the open road. But... I guess not a lot really happens? Or what happens seems to happen to Dautheville internally, which is hard for the reader to pick up on. The artwork is gorgeous and I particularly loved spreads of Dautheville swimming under the stars in the Canadian wilderness. Hand to young travelers and free spirits?
