Tim and Tigon by Tim Cope
Pan Macmillan, 2019. ISBN: 9781760554293.
(Age: 12+) Recommended. 'Adventurer Tim Cope had a childhood dream:
to travel the 10,000 kilometres from Mongolia to Hungary on
horseback - a journey undertaken by the legendary leader of the
Mongols, Genghis Khan. Tim made this epic journey - across the
windswept wilderness and wolf-infested plateaux of Mongolia and
Kazakhstan - with his dog Tigon'. (Publisher)
The YA version of the novel makes it easy to follow and digest for
younger readers even aged 12. This is a recommended novel with
heart. The pictures in the middle show the reality of the harsh
conditions that Tim and Tigon coped with and the traditions of the
people that they encountered.
