Magic Cat climbs to new heights with Iron Tazz's 'complete guide to the outdoors'

TikTok “sensation” Iron Tazz will publish his complete guide to the outdoors with children’s publisher Magic Cat. 

World rights to Hike It were snapped up by publisher Jenny Broom directly from the author.

The book will be illustrated by Martin Stanev and will publish in June next year.  

The US Pacific Northwest-based Tazz (which he claims is his real name) is the expert hiker behind the TikTok channel Hike It (@Hike.It), which has amassed more than 80 million likes and has 3.6 million followers.

Magic Cat bills the new book as “a long-overdue update on the Dangerous Book for Boys” which “offers comprehensive information on hiking, backpacking, camping, outdoor skills and wilderness survival for young adventurers aged seven-plus”. 

Broom said: “Iron reaches out and guides the reader by the hand across 30 diverse terrains, from snow-capped mountains to coastal trails to ancient forests – all based on years of experience hiking every kind of trail himself. His book is packed with a wonder of nature, as well as practical advice on everything right down to pooping in the woods!”
