Bumble Conquers Danseys Pass
A brave and heartwarming children’s truck story inspired by a real New Zealand mountain journey.
Bumble Conquers Danseys Pass is the third book in our children’s adventure book series based on the real travels of Bumble the expedition truck.
In this true New Zealand adventure, Bumble, Kenny, and Ra Ra set off across the steep, narrow, and winding road over Danseys Pass. Along the way they stop at a historic hotel, meet a friendly farmer and his sheepdog Jess, and carefully make their way through the mountains. At the end of the journey, Bumble gets the chance to help another traveller in need — showing young readers that kindness can be just as important as bravery.
This delightful picture book is perfect for children who love trucks, monster trucks, cars, mountain roads, and real-life adventures, and it also resonates with families who love overlanding, expedition travel, van life, camping, and living on the road. With real places, gentle storytelling, and extra fun facts, it makes a lovely choice for homeschooling, worldschooling, roadschooling, and geography-focused learning.
Bumble Conquers Danseys Pass is a story about courage, patience, resilience, and helping others — all set against the stunning backdrop of New Zealand’s South Island.
Perfect for:
young readers who love trucks and travel
families interested in overlanding and van life
homeschool and unschool families seeking “living books”
readers who enjoy real adventures with heart
Format: Available on Amazon in paperback and Kindle.
