I like Fergus, he’s like me, he lives with his Mum and has a dog. His Grandpa is tricky to understand though.

My favourite characters in the book is Daisy. I would recommend this book to someone because it has a good moral lesson. I like this book because it tells me not to doubt even if I got a rusty bike.

Learning expensive things aren’t always the best and always have a good imagination and try your best

It was a nice story. I really like when he started flying into the air and ended up in Nevermore. It was magical and I can imagine what is going on with the story. I like Fergus as he is patient. I would recommend it to my friends. I did not realised there is more Fergus books to read. Would love to read the other Fergus books.

The one star off is because he is talking too much about the new world

It was fun but the story didn’t really go anywhere or have a good ending, we will read the next to see if it improves as a series.

I love this book a lot because it’s about a boy called Fergus who had a big imagination and he was a big fan of bikes which i am too! So he dreamt of being a world champion for bicycle riding. He had a bicycle but it was too small so he wanted a better one with 24 gears and other fancy things so tomorrow was his birthday so his Mum and Grandpa got him another one and repainted it and added some adjustments to it but his Grandpa tells him not to pedal backwards…

I love this book, the characters are very descriptive, the plot surrounds a magic bike witch was given to him on his birthday by his mum and grandad. Fergus and his dog Chimp find them selves in a place called: '' Nevermore'' which does not accept bikes. Fergus is not intimidated by Prince Waldorf and his sidekick and achieved his goal of becoming a fast champion bike rider . Luna P

The characters are very cool and funny. It’s good that Chris Hoy has written a book that inspires young kids that’s dream is to be a Olympic champion in cycling which Chris Hoy is today.

I enjoyed finding out about nevermore and how Fergus did the repair works on his bike himself and all the special functions it gained in nevermore
