Age range 9 to 12 years Tom dreamed of being an adventurer. But
people told him he was crazy, so he decided to prove them wrong by
cycling round the world! Books One and Two follow Tom crossing
Europe and descending Africa, then pedalling through the Americas
to Alaska. In Part Three - the last leg of his journey - he
continues to have amazing experiences. He tackles the freezing
temperatures of Siberia, shares a steaming pool with monkeys in
Japan, follows the Great Wall of China and crosses the world's
largest inland sea. Finally, he bikes back home to Yorkshire. Tom
learns about the world, and himself, as he tackles this epic
journey. Based on the author's personal adventure and with engaging
illustrations, maps and handwritten journal entries throughout,
this book provides an immersive experience for any young
adventurer.
Three families, two worlds and one magical portal. No one comes to
the second world on purpose. The portal between worlds only opens
when least expected. But the Raft King is determined to change
that. He needs Pip, a boy with an amazing gift. Pip's is just the
first of three tales, linking the twins Venus and Swimmer, captured
from a slave ship in the first world, and Thanh and his sister
Sang, from a later time, escaping postwar Vietnam. What connects
these three sets of siblings is the adventure of a lifetime, some
helpful sea monsters and a very special crack in the sea.
