Bumble And The Big Mountain Road
A true overland truck adventure through the wild back roads of New Zealand.
Bumble and the Big Mountain Road is the second book in the Bumble series — a real-life children’s adventure inspired by our full-time travels in Bumble, our expedition truck, around New Zealand.
This time, Bumble, Kenny, and Ra Ra head deep into Central Otago on a remote mountain road filled with river crossings, rough tracks, old gold-mining places, and breathtaking scenery. Not everyone thinks Bumble can handle the challenge — but with courage, patience, and a slow-and-steady approach, she proves just how capable she really is.
This story is ideal for children who love trucks, cars, mountain roads, and real adventures, and for parents who are drawn to family travel, overlanding, expedition trucks, van life, and life on the road. It is also a wonderful fit for homeschool geography, worldschooling, and roadschooling families looking for story-based books that bring real places to life.
Like all Bumble books, it blends exciting storytelling with kindness, resilience, and teamwork, while introducing children to the beauty and history of real New Zealand landscapes.
Perfect for:
children’s book lovers who are obsessed with trucks and adventure
overlanding and van life families
homeschoolers learning through stories
parents seeking books about courage, perseverance, and real travel
Format: Available on Amazon in paperback and Kindle.
