The second in Sir Chris Hoy’s fantastically fun, magical cycling adventure series.

Fergus Hamilton lives and dreams bikes and is really excited about training for the Great Cycle Challenge with his friends. But he’s also got a secret. If the pedals on his bike spin backwards, he’s magically transported to to Nevermore, where cycling is banned and his dad is a prisoner. Princess Lily wants to help, but first they’ll need to brave the spooky abandoned Bicycle Graveyard. . .

Written with award-winning author Joanna Nadin, with fantastic illustrations from Clare Elsom.

""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

I think the book was good because it was about a boy who wanted to win the great cycle challenge and he came second.

Flying Fergus a boy who liked to go on bicycle adventure and needed people to go along with him. Princess Lily was interested but needed a bicycle and so Fergus thought to visit the bicycle graveyard, where broken parts of bicycles are left scattered on the floor. He needed to go to the bicycle graveyard to get bicycle parts to build a bicycle for princess Lily. Very interesting Fiction Novel.

I thought this book was really good because it’s all about teamwork, bravery and bikes. My favourite character has to be Fergus because he never gives up and tries his hardest. I would recommend this book to someone who likes laughing and bikes, bikes, bikes and more bikes.
