Synopsis

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 author's 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.

À propos de l'auteur

Alastair Humphreys is an adventurer, blogger, author and motivational speaker. He regularly visits schools to talk about his adventures. Alastair's quest for adventure began young. Aged eight, he completed the Yorkshire Three Peaks challenge and at 13 he did the National Three Peaks in 24 hours! At 14 he cycled off-road across England. At university, Alastair trained to become a teacher. But adventure took over! Alastair has now cycled round the world, raced a yacht across the Atlantic Ocean, canoed 500 miles down the Yukon River and walked the length of the holy Kaveri river in India. He has run the Marathon des Sables, crossed Iceland by foot and packraft, rowed across the Atlantic Ocean, and walked across the Empty Quarter desert. More recently Alastair has been encouraging people to seek out adventure close to home. The microadventures idea saw Alastair named as one of National Geographic s Adventurers of the Year.
