Overview of Bicycle Dreaming Book

From one birthday to the next, thirteen-year-old Noor watches as her family comes apart. Her father, Mohammad Saidullah, a kabadiwala, loses his job pedalling his bicycle door-to-door to collect household discards; he is forced to join the ranks of those who scavenge in New Delhi s landfills. Noor s brother, Talib, works in a call centre; his aspirations for a better life are a constant source of friction. When Talib leaves the family after his father s further downslide into poverty, and their mother, Ameena, follows him, Noor sees it as further evidence of her mother s preference for the son over the daughter. Noor dreams of riding a bicycle but won t allow herself to learn. Not until Noor falls for Ajith, a Dalit boy, is she forced from her place on the side-lines to enter into the fray of her own story.
