When Soumchi, an eleven-year-old boy growing up in
British-occupied Jerusalem just after World War II, receives a
bicycle as a gift from his Uncle Zemach, he is overjoyed--even if
it is a girl's bicycle. Ignoring the taunts of other boys in his
neighborhood, he dreams of riding far away from them, out of the
city and across the desert, toward the heart of Africa. But first
he wants to show his new prize to his friend Aldo.
In the tradition of such memorable characters as Huckleberry Finn
and Holden Caulfield, Amos Oz's Soumchi is fresh, funny, and always
engaging.
