A guide to life

TMB is one of the greatest books I've ever read, along with Chasing Time. It holds marvelous truths about our own lives, and inspires one's imagination. Anyone can - and should - read it. It's a wonderful book that allows you to get out of your world for a couple of hours, and return to it wiser. Both children and grown-ups are invited to ride with Danny and Murg on the Magical Bicycle to amazing new places, across time. An unforgettable experience.

Adventurous, fun, leaves you thinking

I read TMB in a very short time. Not because I am a fast reader, but because I couldn't wait to find out what happened next! This book is always entertaining and thought provoking, you deffinately get a different perspective on cats. The book is unpredicable enough to keep you off guard, but writen cleverly enough to always keep you involved. I am 37 years old, and all I can say is that if this is a childrens book, pass me the Ovaltine!

The Power of the Freedom of Imagination Running Wild

Incredibly imaginative. I was struck how so many ages could appreciate this piece of creative genius. I am 40 and I liked it. A 14 year old would love it. I think my grandfather would have appreciated it in that it seems to evoke nostalgic memories from youth about overcoming problems and turning your dreams and desires into reality.. 2 big thumbs up!!!!!!!

The Magic Bicycle is a five star book!

I recommend this book to people who like adventure and travel. I loved the book because it is exciting. My favorite character is Murg the Calico Cat. I liked her because she sometimes can be wiser than humans. I think this is a book that would especially be enjoyed if the reader is age 7 to 14. Younger children would enjoy having their parents read it to them. Once I started this book, I couldn't put it down until I had read the entire book. William Hill is a very good writer. I can't wait to hear about what happens to these characters in The Magic Bicycle II!

It was an excellent read. I love this book!

TMB was an excellent read. I could really relate to Danny. He's a colorful mixture of everybody I've ever known. His meeting with Kah-laye-dee, an alien visitor hiding in a haunted mansion, was so enjoyable I read it twice. And the complexity of changing time was incredibly clever. I loved it!
