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

young adventurer.
When Herbie and Violet's arch-enemy Sebastian Eels turns up in
Eerie-on-Sea, seemingly back from the dead, it can only spell bad
news. The town may welcome his entrepreneurial scheme to resurrect
Festergrimm's Waxworks, a dusty and defunct old gallery of spooky
characters from Eerie legend, but Herbie and Violet are suspicious
of his motives. And when they learn the legend of Ludo Festergrimm
the clockmaker, creator of a vast mechanical robot that wrought
havoc in the wrong hands, they KNOW they're on the right track. But
how can they get the residents of Eerie-on-Sea to believe them?
