Clive To The Arctic! NEW for April 2025

Clive To The Arctic! is the fourth in the 'Clive The Corvette' series of children's books, aimed at 1 to 5 year olds. 

 

His biggest adventure yet, more than 5500 miles covered in two weeks! Clive drives through 8 countries, briefly takes part in a race at the worlds most northerly racetrack (Arctic Circle Raceway), visits the most northerly city (Hammerfest) and travels on the worlds most northerly highway until it runs out at the most northerly point in mainland Europe, Nordkapp. Phew!
Along the way Clive meets friends and animals, including Reindeer, he is always looking out for Moose too. For more than a week it never went dark, with sunshine at midnight. Clive passed 230,000 miles on this trip, using the same set of Yokohama AD09 tyres he used to finish in 2nd place at Silverstone.

Just as all the previous Clive books, every illustration is based on actual photos taken during this adventure that took place in the summer of 2024. 

To follow the true story of Clive you can read the up-to-date blog I write on the Pistonheads forum (note, external content, not aimed at children).
