Tom's Wild Ride

Tom won't let a few mishaps keep him from becoming the cyclist he knows he was born to be; that's what bandages are for. But his friends in the Mile End neighbourhood think he needs more practice. Helping him train, they build an obstacle course to get ready for the road... but when Tom announces he's ready for a longer ride, without training wheels, his friends are overwhelmed with worry! What if he gets lost? What if he falls? What if he just goes and goes FOREVER? But Tom knows he has what it takes. A combination of experience, grit and determination is all he needs to prove to his friends he's ready for the ride of a lifetime! Join Tom and familiar faces Colette, Maya, Albert, Jimmy and the rest of the gang on a Mile End Kids adventure in this beautiful picture book told in graphic novel-style panels from Isabelle Arsenault, one of Canada's most beloved children's illustrators.
