Written for curious young readers who love travel, maps, and true-to-life adventure, the trilogy turns one cyclist's real journey into an accessible, encouraging story about courage, independence, and seeing things through. It's a natural pick for kids who dream of far-off places and grown-up adventures of their own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Books\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Boy Who Biked the World trilogy follows its young hero on an epic, continent-hopping bicycle journey, loosely based on author Alastair Humphreys's own real-life round-the-world cycling expedition. The first book, On the Road to Africa, sets the tone as the boy leaves home behind and slowly builds the confidence and skills he'll need for the miles ahead. Part Two, Riding the Americas, pushes the story further afield, with new landscapes and tests of endurance across an entire hemisphere. Part Three, Riding Home Through Asia, brings the adventure full circle, carrying the cyclist through varied terrain as he pedals toward home. Across all three books, the storytelling stays grounded and encouraging, giving young readers a sense that big adventures are built from small, brave steps. Tom Morgan-Jones's illustrations run throughout, adding warmth and helping bring each new country to life. Sold together, the three paperbacks make it easy to follow the whole journey from start to finish, and they look great lined up on a bedroom or classroom shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete three-book paperback set covering the whole round-the-world journey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStory inspired by a genuine real-life cycling adventure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIllustrated throughout by Tom Morgan-Jones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEncourages independence, perseverance, and curiosity about other cultures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact paperback format, easy for kids to carry and read anywhere\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA great gift for birthdays, holidays, or any young adventure-loving reader\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook-by-Book Guide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Boy Who Biked the World: On the Road to Africa — The opening adventure sends the young cyclist into unfamiliar territory as he builds the skills and courage for the road ahead.\u003cbr\u003eThe Boy Who Biked the World: Riding the Americas (Part Two) — The journey continues across a new continent, bringing fresh landscapes and bigger challenges on two wheels.\u003cbr\u003eThe Boy Who Biked the World: Riding Home Through Asia (Part Three) — The trilogy's final leg carries the young rider through varied terrain as the long journey home comes into view.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlastair Humphreys is a British adventurer and author best known for cycling around the world and for championing the idea of the \"microadventure\" — proving that meaningful adventure doesn't have to mean traveling far or spending a fortune. His own cycling expedition across six continents forms the real-life inspiration behind The Boy Who Biked the World series, bringing that spirit of curiosity and endurance to younger readers. Alongside his children's writing, Humphreys has written for adults about expeditions and finding adventure closer to home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy You'll Love This Collection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePerfect for young explorers, this three-book set turns a real cycling adventure into an inspiring story about courage and curiosity.
