Part one of the bestselling trilogy
Discover Africa by bicycle in Book One of a children’s adaptation of Alastair Humphreys’ journey around the world.
In this charming caricature of the author’s own circumnavigation by bike, we meet Tom, an adventurous boy who feels there must be more to life than school.
We follow him as he leaves England, cycling through Europe and all the way through Africa to the tip of South Africa. Along the way, young readers are introduced not only to the various fascinating landscapes he passes through, but also to the people who embrace him as he travels.
With engaging illustrations and journal entries throughout, this delightful series provides an immersive experience for any young adventurer.
