Julian's Glorious Summer - Paperback

by Ann Cameron (Author)

Bestselling classic The Stories Julian Tells was just the beginning! Get ready for more of Julian's wonderful imagination in the Julian's World chapter book series!

Julian isn't afraid of lions or tigers, but he is scared of . . . bicycles?

Julian's friend Gloria has a brand-new bicycle. She makes riding it look easy, but Julian is scared. Bicycles are shiny, whizzing, wobbly things. And he's not ready to ride one. But he can't tell Gloria he's scared, so he tells a fib instead. He almost gets away with it . . . until the fib backfires and he's got an even bigger problem!

"This is a perfectly constructed young reader, with neat turns in the plot, a loving family, and engaging dialogue." --Kirkus Reviews

A Library of Congress Children's Book of the Year

Front Jacket

Bicycles-shiny, whizzing, wobbly bicycles-scare Julian more than lions or tigers. But how can he tell that to his best friend, Gloria? She can already ride with no hands. So instead of telling the truth, Julian makes up a little fib. And he almost gets away with it-until his fib backfires and Julian finds himself in the biggest, most confounding fix ever.
