Gino became an international sports hero! But the next year, World War II began, and it changed everything. Soldiers marched into Italy. Tanks rolled down the cobbled streets of Florence. And powerful leaders declared that Jewish people should be arrested.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo the entire world, Gino Bartali was merely a champion cyclist. But Gino's greatest achievement was something he never told a soul--that he secretly worked with the Italian resistance to save hundreds of Jewish men, women, and children, and others, from certain death, using the one thing no authority would question: his bicycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis compelling nonfiction picture book for elementary-age readers offers a unique perspective on World War II history. It's a strong choice for units on the war and for biographies of lesser-known heroes in history and in sports.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Megan Hoyt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0062908111\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780062908117\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Quill Tree Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/23\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 40\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.10h x 9.20w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.2\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Lower Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e511618 \/ Bartali's Bicycle: The True Story of Gino Bartali Italy's Secret Hero\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/11\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBulletin of Ctr for Child Bks\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/2021 pg. 37\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/04\/2021 pg. 1","brand":"Megan Hoyt","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44053828600063,"sku":"9780062908117","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_47acd789-59f5-4ed5-bfaf-a1bd242aa867.jpg?v=1685026466","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/bartalis-bicycle-megan-hoyt-9780062908117","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
