Description

Twelve-year-old Jamie’s world is shattered when his younger brother, Ben, dies in a tragic bike accident. Ben wasn’t just Jamie’s little brother-he was his best friend, his shadow, and his greatest admirer. Now, the house feels unbearably quiet, and Jamie is left grappling with overwhelming guilt, sadness, and the weight of unspoken words.

Encouraged by his mum and dad, Jamie reluctantly attends The Rainbow House, a grief support program where he meets other kids who have experienced loss. Through journalling, the butterfly hug, and the support of a new friend, Jamie learns that healing doesn’t mean forgetting. Slowly, he begins to ride the waves of grief and discovers ways to carry Ben’s memory forward.

Inspired by Ben’s love of biking, Jamie embarks on an ambitious project: building a bike track in Ben’s honour. As the track comes to life, Jamie not only creates a space for joy and connection but also begins to dream of his own future. He realises that moving forward doesn’t mean leaving Ben behind-it means carrying his spirit into everything he does.

The Ride to Remember is a heartfelt and hopeful story about love, loss, and resilience. Perfect for readers navigating grief or seeking inspiration, this book gently reminds us that even in the shadow of loss, we can find purpose, joy, and a path forward.
