Joyride

by Arielle Haughee

A bike? A golf cart? What could be next??Leo the cat likes his happy place at home, no matter how much Daisy the dog pesters him to go on adventures. But when a mischievous cricket hops in his path, Leo can’t resist the urge to chase, even if it takes him on a terrifying journey with Daisy. When Leo confronts something he detests more than adventures, he must choose whether he wants to stay miserable or try and find happiness. Joyride is a story of trying new things and learning how to find happiness wherever you are.
