By Doris Buchanan Smith, Michael Wimmer (Illustrator)
A best friend faces life-altering questions after a sudden tragedy strikes.
When Jamie, the fearless and unpredictable friend, is suddenly gone, his best friend is left grappling with unanswerable questions. How do you move forward when the world feels unchanged yet profoundly different? As memories of sunlit games and the taste of blackberries linger, the challenge is to find joy amidst loss. Can life ever be the same without Jamie's vibrant presence? This poignant journey explores the depths of friendship and the resilience needed to face the unimaginable.
Jamie is special, full of surprises, unpredictable. He can get into trouble, and then out of it. He courts danger, and always escapes. And he has an answer for every impossible question. But when something sudden and terrible happens to Jamie, his best friend has to face the tragedy alone. Now there are questions that not even Jamie could have answered. How could Jamie be alive one minute, and the next, gone forever? How can some things, like flowers or playing games in the sun or the taste of the blackberries Jamie loved, go on without him - and still be so full of joy and pleasure?
