Flying Fergus 1: The Best Birthday Bike: by Olympic champion Sir Chris Hoy, written with award-winning author Joanna Nadin

Product Information

Although reluctant to sound like my Great Auntie Beryl, the word that sums this book up is delightful. A heartwarming tale about the power of true friendship and sticking together when times are tough - with added magic and mayhem! Mum and Jambo are distracted by their upcoming wedding, Grandpa and Choppy Wallace are having problems with the team's sponsor, who is demanding ludicrous things like banning the team from eating bananas and making them scoff biscuits instead. I thought this book was amazing because Fergus is just an ordinary boy but his bike is extraordinary and he finds that out by spinning the wheels backwards three times. After their amazing win at the National Championships, Fergus and the rest of the Hercules' Hopefuls are keen to get bac.

A nice flow with understandable use of language and a selection of fitting illustrations by Clare Elsom meant that it was really enjoyable either way and the chorus of ‘one more chapter’ every time one came to end was testament to the enjoyment she got from it.This book is full of positive messages for children to stand up to bullies, believe in themselves and always work hard (hard graft). The series will also feature a non-fiction book to encourage children to have fun cycling, and record their cycling adventures.

He has to beat the stealth shield, the smoke generator, the well of everlasting torment, the gruesome glade and the swamp of certain death. It’s good that Chris Hoy has written a book that inspires young kids that’s dream is to be a Olympic champion in cycling which Chris Hoy is today.
