Flying Fergus 4: The Championship Cheats
The fourth book in the fantastically fun, magical cycling adventure series from Sir Chris Hoy
The District Championships are coming up and the Hercules' Hopefuls are nervous. Their hard work and training are about to be put to the test. But that's not the only thing on Fergus's mind. Mum has been acting oddly, and when rival coach Choppy Wallace turns up with an offer that's just too good to be true, Fergus is suspicious. It's high time he got Dad back from Nevermore, but he'll need a little help from his friends Princess Lily and Unlucky Luke . . .
Written with award-winning author Joanna Nadin, with brilliant illustrations by Clare Elsom.
