The Ultimate Biker Book For Young Readers

Sometimes you see a book cover that jumps right out at you and grabs your fullest attention – this is the case for a great book for teenage boys called “Choppers.” Well the cover was just the opening to a wonderfully and well written book about custom choppers. These motorcycles are really works of art and the color photos of them are classic!

The authors, Mike Seate and Linda Black McKay, have done a good job of taking us on a visual journey of the mind and spirit with this book. They give the reader plenty of information to make it an educational journey (including a “Chopper Glossary” at the back of the book) yet the reader is always entertained and amused by the text and the color photos.

If you are looking for a gift to give to a young man in your life then this is one book that will actually be read and looked through from beginning to end. It is fascinating and pure “dream candy” looking at what others have done to those two wheel machines. The choice of bikes to display and write about is a perfect balance of art and function. This book is part of a great series of books and like all the books in that series this is not limited to just young men. All male readers will enjoy looking at and reading this book.

I personally recommend this book for all young male readers and those who are still young at heart! Choppers is given The MWSA's highest book rating for young readers – FIVE STARS.
