Flying Fergus 5: The Winning Team
The fifth story in the fantastically fun, magical cycling adventure series from Sir Chris Hoy.
The Hercules' Hopefuls are going to the Nationals, and not even Wallace's Winners competing too can wipe the smiles off their faces. But then disaster strikes in training. To stand a chance of beating the Velociraptors, the terrifying all-girls speed squad, Wesley and Fergus will need to work together. It's Fergus's biggest challenge yet - well, apart from breaking Dad out of the Dungeon of Despair in Nevermore, that is . . .
Written with award-winning author Joanna Nadin, with fantastic illustrations from Clare Elsom.
