Full Cycle - winner of Best Inspirational Fiction in the 2017 Next Generation Indie Book Awards - tells the story of eleven-year-old Alex Peterson, whose physical disability makes him one of the least-athletic boys in his school. Still, Alex dreams of doing something unimaginable: the 200-mile, one-day Seattle to Portland bicycle ride. He soon discovers that if he's to reach even the starting line, he must overcome more than his physical disability. He must also find a way to revive his father's own long-dormant interest in cycling, and convince his dad to join forces with him, before they can achieve together what neither would on his own.
