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 through to the final round of the cycling competition, but are facing their toughest test yet – not only must Fergus and his friends beat their arch-rivals Wallace’s Winners, but this time they also need to face off against the scariest team in all of Scotland – The Velociraptors, an elite all-girls squad. But disaster strikes the team when Minnie McCloud catches chicken pox and Calamity Coogan breaks his leg, and it looks like their dreams are over. But Wallace’s Winners are also in a predicament – can Wesley and Fergus put their rivalry to one side and give both teams a chance at lifting the cup? Meanwhile, in Nevermore, Fergus must work together with Princess Lily and his friends to save his dad from the clutches of the mean anti-cycling King Woebegot. If he can just manage it, maybe Dad will be back home in time to see him compete in the Finals? With fantastic illustrations from Clare Elsom.
