Publisher's Summary
Discover the heartwarming true story of a life-changing friendship between a man and his rescue cat, Nala, as they adventure together on a bike journey around the world - from the Instagram phenomenon @1bike1world.
When 30-year-old Dean Nicholson set off from Scotland to cycle around the world, his aim was to learn as much as he could about our troubled planet. But he hadn't bargained on the lessons he'd learn from his unlikely companion.
Three months after leaving home, on a remote road in the mountains between Montenegro and Bosnia, he came across an abandoned kitten. Something about the piercing eyes and plaintive meowing of the bedraggled little cat proved irresistible. He couldn't leave her to her fate, so he put her on his bike and then, with the help of local vets, nursed her back to health. Soon on his travels with the cat he named Nala, they forged an unbreakable bond - both curious, independent, resilient and adventurous.
The video of how they met has had 20 million views and their Instagram has grown to almost 750k followers - and still counting! Experiencing the kindness of strangers, visiting refugee camps, rescuing animals through Europe and Asia, Dean and Nala have already learned that the unexpected can be pretty amazing.
Together with Garry Jenkins, writer with James Bowen of the best-selling A Street Cat Named Bob, Dean shares the extraordinary tale of his and Nala's inspiring and heart-warming adventure together.
What the critics say
“There are moments of tension, like when Nala can’t be found for a whole morning, and profundity ... The writing is more like people you just met at a hostel telling you about their travels after a few pints... Nicholson is at his best when he tells the story of a man finding a sense of purpose from an unlikely (and adorable) source...charming.” (New York Times Book Review)
“Charming.” (USA Today)
“A gorgeous book ... complete with photos that will melt your heart.” (The U.S. Sun)

delightful!
I've been following Dean and Nala since early days of their meeting. even thought I already knew most of the stories, hearing them told this way really brought things to life. the narrator was excellent - I often forgot I wasn't listening to Dean himself. great way for newcomers to learn about this wonderful adventure "tail"

Even more wonderful than I imagined
After following Dean and Nala on their adventures via Instragram, I thought I'd give the book a whirl. Entertaining and lovely from start to finish. Excellent narration to boot! Loved it.
