This real-life narrative novel is about the Vogel family’s first long cycling journey together across the USA and Mexico. Astoundingly, they pedaled over 9300 miles during their one-year adventure in 2006. (Since then, they’ve made an even longer journey- all the way from Alaska to the southern tip of South America- which took them nearly 3 years).
Not surprisingly, Twenty Miles Per Cookie is a fantastic tale of adventures, adversities, family bonding, exciting discoveries, and a heck of a lot of cycling. If you love adventure tales, this one will keep you entertained.
