Maisie, depicted as a contented, slightly chubby young white girl, loves to ride. While her big sister, Zoe, is fast, svelte, and determined, Maisie trundles along on her comfortable, squeaky old bike, ice cream cone held in one hand. She would like to keep up with Zoe, but she’s also happy to ride her own way (“I bet I have more fun on my bike rides!”), and she soon makes some likeminded friends: Tito, who is Black and rides a recumbent three-wheeler with a horn; Jayden, who is white and can pop wheelies; and Layla, who has tan skin and brings all her stuffies with her in a trailer. The four start the Ragtag Best Friends Bicycle Club and quickly welcome a host of quirky new members—even Zoe is impressed by their all-inclusive approach. Blonsky writes from Maisie’s perspective, mixing straightforward prose and dialogue with more stylized speech-bubble conversations. Maisie and her diverse group of friends emerge as well-adjusted kids secure in what brings them pleasure. Zoe provides measured contrast—she embodies cycling ideals but is missing out on something. Throughout, Claffey captures the unadulterated joys of childhood and cycling, offering simple but endearing digital illustrations with arresting background details, including vivid images of trees, the sun and clouds, a cityscape, and a page-spanning sunset.
