Synopsis

The seventh book in the fantastically fun, magical cycling adventure series from Sir Chris Hoy.

A new coach is needed - but what can a wheelchair basketball champion teach Fergus and friends about cycling? Fergus is sure their new coach is going to be his ultimate hero, cycle champ 'Spokes' Sullivan, so when Grandpa introduces Charlotte Campbell, the children are all less than impressed.

Charlie is the successful captain of the Paralympic wheelchair basketball team and has some interesting training methods. She gets the team doing yoga and wheelbarrow races, and enters them in the Wreck-It Run, a charity race where everyone creates their own adapted bikes from parts and must compete in pairs.

Fergus is sure Charlie is off her rocker - how will this help them get faster for the International time trials?

"Champion cyclist Chris Hoy breathes his passion for cycling into this entertaining and imaginative adventure about an ordinary boy and his big cycling dreams." The Guardian

The Flying Fergus series is a collaboration between Sir Chris Hoy and Joanna Nadin, and illustrator Claire Elsom, as described on the back cover of the books. Joanna’s extensive writing experience helps Sir Chris bring his ideas and characters to life on the page.
