Text in Spanish. "Fabio flies through the streets of Bogota on his bicycle, the children of his neighborhood trailing behind him. It is there that life feels right--where the world of adults, and their lies, fades away. But then one day, he simply forgets. Forgets how to ride his bicycle. And Fabio will never be the same again"--Provided by publisher.

From the publisher:
Fabio vuela en su bicicleta por las calles de Bogota, mientras los ninos del vecindario lo siguen. Es justo alli donde la vida se siente bien--donde el mundo de los adultos, y sus mentiras, desaparece. Pero un dia, Fabio lo olvida, olvida como andar en bicicleta. Y nunca volvera a ser el mismo. Desde Colombia viene un debut especial, Alejandra Algorta, y una novela de descubrimiento y la nostalgia de crecer. NOW IN PAPERBACK!
