Himalayan Heist
In this fast-moving adventure story, the unthinkable happens several times over! From a plane crash landing in the remote mountains of western Nepal, we follow Alex, Bim and James as they escape from the wreckage, crossing terrifying torrents and battling through dense forests – where bears are the least of their problems. This is more than the story about three children trying to find their parents again. It’s also a glimpse into the wicked world of underground trading in animal parts and a quest to bring wildlife-killing criminals to justice.

How to Shit Around the World
Lots of really good tips on how to avoid getting sick while travelling, and what to do if (and when!) you do. Plus, many of the stories are laugh out loud funny in that gross, commiserating, I can't believe that happened, type of way. Really good and fast read to get a ton of tips for when you are travelling in less than sanitary conditions and how to stay healthy. I recommend it for all globe trotters!

Himalayan Hideout
This is another romping himalayan adventure. This time the boys end up in the high himalayas where they meet some beautiful wildlife, but also encounter a family of bears and even a snow leopard and many other rare beasts as they wander, lost, amongst the crags and deep into terrorist territory.
