Ghosts Don’t Ride Bikes, Do They? by Andres Miedoso, Victor Rivas

Desmond and Andres are on another case.  There's on hill on the bike run no one can get over...

Little Simon and Edelweiss gave me the opportunity to read this book for review (thank you).  It has been published so you can grab a copy now.

Andres is fearful, but he's got a bike and he's a good bike rider.  The problem there arises when the kids tell him nobody gets past the kicker, the last hill in the bike run.  He can't understand why but everything is going perfect and then it's like he's stopped in the air.  He falls off the bike and his bike tumbles down.  What happened?

He gets Desmond and his tool, and they go back to the kicker hill.  It is a ghost.  And he has an ulterior motive for dropping the bikes.  He wants to fix them...

This problem is neatly disposed of and everybody is happy at the end.  

This is written for intermediate readers and with all the illustrations and the silly story line it will be popular with children.
