Scampering along the road was “a scrappy wee thing” that fitted into the palm of his hand, with “sharply pointing ears, spindly legs and a thick tail”. The book also teaches us that the power of social media can be used to make a positive difference in the world. At a time when life seems so heavy for so many of us, this book is a bright spot sure to lift your spirits. You can tell it's been a rollercoaster of a journey and unexpected, but you can't help but smile at the pictures of a tattooed, bearded Scottish bloke riding with a tiny cat on his shoulder: the world loves them, it's well deserved, and it's uplifting to see the good they are doing.

This book is written with humour, passion and honesty, it's suitable for all ages and can be enjoyed as a memoir but also as a love story between humans and animals, a tribute to those that go above and beyond for both, and the fundamental good in people, on a global level. Matka jatkuu kisulin kanssa ja somejulkisuuden myötä rupeaa tukemaan eläinyhdistyksiä matkansa varrelta. When Dean Nicholson found an abandoned kitten by the side of the road one day, he hadn't bargained on the lessons he'd learn from his unlikely companion, Nala.

On the youtube channel you get to watch a cute cat and the biking is kind of hypnotic, but you don't have that with a book. And while camping in a forest near Belgrade, a woman woke him up on a cold February morning with a flask of hot coffee and a tin of tuna for Nala.

Once you start reading about Dean Nicholson’s journey to bike ride around the world, his rescuing a tiny kitten in the mountains of Bosnia and the bond that they formed with each other and the world through Instagram and You Tube, you will not be able to put this book down.When I first had the idea to publish the story of how Nala and I met, a children’s book was the way I wanted to go. From the time Nicholson first heard a faint meow while biking through Bosnia, his trip became all about what’s best for Nala. A heartwarming picture book based on the incredible true story of social media sensation and round-the-world-cyclist Dean Nicholson and his trusty cat companion, Nala. When I found my self going solo in this epic bike journey I had undertaken, I was unsure where to head next. They have had an incredible adventure, made a world of friends, made people like me happier by reading this and helped others on the way.

About the Author Dean Nicholson was a manual labourer in his hometown of Dunbar, Scotland, when he set off in September 2018 to cycle around the globe. At a rest in Montenegro, he sees a scrawny, malnourished kitten crawling on some rocks and decides to save her. My issue with the book is the constant repetition of things, especially with how the bike ride changed his life or how Ricky and him started out the trip differently, how Nala changed his life, or how he made a mistake about Nala. Your payment method will be charged immediately, and the product is expected to ship on or around September 29, 2020.This was exactly what I needed to read, but at the same time, horrible, because I can't travel to any of these countries. In fact I flagged a page (183) where Dean states he wanted to see the world firsthand and how TV news and newspapers are too keen to pit people against each other. Several things keep interrupting his journey, though being adopted by Nala was the best thing that happened for both of them.
