Sadly this type of magic doesn't exist, not yet anyway.
The Coyotes Bicycle, let's face it, the title alone was enough to make me pick it up, is unlike any other book I have ever read. It is about:
1. Life along the U.S. Mexico border
2. A human smuggling operation
3. A Coyote ( human smuggler) with a 7th grade education, who was honest, trustworthy, kind, and one of the largest smugglers of people, in the busiest border area!
4. A cast of characters on both sides of the border, crazies, and misfits, and drunks, and men and woman trying to get by, trying to get ahead, trying for a better life.
5. A human smuggling operation, that used bicycles to get the people across/into the United States.
6. Bicycles that after they had been used by the coyote wound up on military bases around the world.
7. The attempt to track the bicycles.
This is an amazing, outstanding, fantastic book.… (meer)
