The final part of the bestselling trilogy.
Tom dreamed of being an adventurer. People told him he was crazy, so he decided to prove them wrong by cycling round the world.
In Books One and Two, Tom crossed Europe and Africa, then pedalled through the Americas to Alaska. In Part Three, the final leg of his journey, he continues to have amazing experiences. He braves the freezing temperatures of Siberia, rides behind reindeer in Russia, floats in a Japanese pool watched by monkeys and follows the Great Wall of China. Finally, he bikes back home to England.
Tom learns about the world, and himself, as he tackles this epic journey. Based on the authorβs own personal adventure, and with engaging illustrations, maps and handwritten journal entries throughout, The Boy Who Biked the World offers an immersive experience to any young adventurer.
βItβs entertaining but it also educates with its abundance of information, and is sure to inspire. A perfect choice for any parent of a would-be cycle adventurer.β β Womenβs Cycling
βAn enjoyable adventure story packed full of facts. Would make great discussion points for primary school kids if used as a class reader, and it is also cross-curricular, covering subjects such as geography, religion, languages and a number of other subjects.β β Book Zone For Boys
