His friends in the Montreal neighbourhood are not so sure. They build him an obstacle course to practise on, but when Tom declares he is ready for a real ride, no training wheels, the whole gang is gripped with worry: what if he falls, what if he gets lost, what if he just keeps going forever?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a warm, funny story about practice, nerves, and the particular pride of doing a hard thing yourself, with a few scraped knees along the way. Arsenault is one of Canada's most celebrated illustrators, a three-time Governor General's Literary Award winner, and the panelled format makes this a lovely first step into graphic novels for younger readers. Familiar faces from the series, Colette, Maya, Albert, and Jimmy, all turn up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardcover\u003cbr\u003eAges 4–8\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tundra Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45381330075695,"sku":null,"price":24.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0072\/7285\/7647\/files\/Tom_sWildRide.jpg?v=1779473546","url":"https:\/\/www.parkette.ca\/products\/toms-wild-ride","provider":"Parkette.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
