In Spin, Peter Zheutlin masterfully tells the (mostly) true story of his great-great-aunt Annie Kopchovsky, who, through her adventures on her bicycle, becomes known to the world as Annie Londonderry. At the young age of twenty-three, Annie takes up the bold challenge of attempting to win a sizable wager while cycling around the world, often alone and often in dangerous situations. Zheutlin creatively writes Spin as told through the lens of a letter written by Annie to her granddaughter, Mary. It's a spirited whirlwind of a read!
