Discover Africa by bicycle in book 1 of a delightful children's adaptation of Alastair Humphrey's journey around the world.

In this charming caricature of Alastair Humphreys' infamous circumnavigation of the world on his bike, children are swept along with the character of Tom, an adventurous boy who feels there must be more to life than school.

The first part of The Boy Who Biked the World follows Tom leaving 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 various people who so happily embrace him as he traveled on his journey.

With engaging illustrations, postcards, and journal entries throughout, this book provides an immersive experience for any young adventurer.

“Inspiring for young cyclists and would-be adventurers”

Both my son and daughter enjoyed this when they were about 10; it's really relatable, which sounds strange given the hero cycled around the world - but the little daily details and the descriptions really catch... More
