I kælderen er jeg alene med Bang. Han rækker ud efter en genstand på operationsbordet. Idet han drejer sig om mod mig, får jeg øje på kanylen i hans hånd.Mine øjne er som to vildfarne glaskugler, der når som helst kan forlade øjenskålen og springe ud af kraniet.En hvislende lyd bryder stilheden, da han med en øvet bevægelse presser kanylens overskydende luft ud.Da han læner sig ind over mig, mærker jeg hans kolde hånd på min arm. Min krop stivner i samme øjeblik, hans dybe stemme bryder tavsheden.”Operationen er det perfekte indgreb. Nu kan du ikke flygte fra Nocebo,” brummer han med en kikset venlighed.Cyklen uden bremser er en dramatisk fortælling, der skildrer Florian Hearts skæbnesvangre møde med den visionære, men også kyniske og kompromisløse Bang.Bogen udfordrer forskellige syn på verden og tematiserer nutidens normalitets- og inklusionsbegreb.Om forfatterenDan Toft (f. 1965) debuterede i 2011 med en skønlitterær roman og har desuden skrevet over 10 børne- og ungdomsbøger.

Denne bog henvender sig til børn i alderen 9-12 år og handler om, hvordan der er at have ADHD. Bogen er skrevet som en letlæsningsbog, men er også velegnet som højtlæsningsbog. Bogen er en efterfølger til "Sejt med ADHD" af samme forfattere. Denne gang har forfatterne fokuseret på, hvordan det er at få en bonusfamilie, at blive storesøster, og hvordan alting fungerer for hovedpersonen Alice i skolen. Bogen indeholder beskrivelser af hvordan det kan være for et barn, som ikke kan kontrollere sin impulser, og hvordan der er at have mennesker omkring sig, som er uforstående overfor det at have ADHD. Bogen henvender sig primært til barnet selv, til familien og til lærere i skolen. Formålet er at udbrede kendskabet til ADHD samt øge forståelsen hos de personer. Også i denne bog gøres meget ud af at fremhæve de fordele, som diagnosen giver - både for at mindske fordomme og for at bidrage til en bedre opfattelse af ADHD.
