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

Product Information

Fergus Hamilton lives and dreams bikes and is really excited about training for the Great Cycle Challenge with his friends.

A heartwarming tale about the power of true friendship and sticking together when times are tough - with added magic and mayhem! I loved the use of two separate worlds linked by the bicycle, one real-life, the other fantasy, and that some characters behaved very differently in one world compared to the other (especially Chimp the dog with his Aussie accent and humour/attitude! My six and half year old boy who wasn't much in to reading anything 6 months ago has really enjoyed this series. Living with his mum and gradad and his dog, Chimp, he dreams of a state-of-the-art Sullivan Swift and becoming the most brilliant boy cyclist in the world.In his first motivational book for children, he shares everything he has learned on his journey to help inspire kids to fulfil their potential and be the best they can be. He has brought his experience to bear with the launch of Hoy Bikes, in partnership with Evans Cycles.

To start with Fergus was disappointed with his bike but his grandfather encouraged him and gave him confidence.I like Choppy Wallace because on the character bit he is doing a funny face and he's Wesley Wallace's Dad.
