Flying Fergus 6: The Cycle Search and Rescue
Sir Chris Hoy, Clare Elsom
After their amazing win at the National Championships, Fergus and the rest of the Hercules’ Hopefuls are keen to get back to training as a team – it was brilliant to lift the trophy alongside the Wallace’s Winners, but now that Calamity Coogan and Minnie McLeod are back on form, the two teams want to go back to competing against each other rather than together. But – to everyone’s disgust – the Board are adamant: the team that won the Nationals is the only one that can compete in the upcoming Internationals. So in order to qualify, the two teams must work together as a squad.
Wesley is furious and Fergus is disgusted, so Grandpa and Choppy come up with a plan: a training weekend in the Highlands to help them bond.
But as soon as the two teams arrive at the boarding lodge the squabbles break out again. Daisy and Minnie will have to share a dorm with Belinda Bruce, and Choppy is outraged not to have his own private quarters. Then Wesley challenges Fergus to a head-to-head cross-country race – first one back to the camp wins. The weather is closing in, and the route is hilly and challenging. When Wesley and the others don’t get back to the boarding house, and a storm starts to rage outside, Fergus knows their only hope is to get insider information from someone he knows will have the answers: Dad. So he’s got to get up to speed and back to Nevermore before Wesley and his team come to harm in the hills…
Reviews
I liked Wesley the most because he did something wrong and then said 'sorry'. I thought this was kind. I would recommend it to children aged 5-10. This book is in a series by Chris Hoy and they are brilliant.

I liked the princess the best because she was nice and very ambitious. My favourite part was when Fergus and the other one were fighting, which actually was a lot of the book. I would recommend it to children who like riding bikes.

The story of Fergus and his team racing against Wallace's Winners in the Highland hundreds. My favourite character is dad because he is always soft and gentle and always helps Fergus which is why I think Fergus is so nice to others. I recommend the book to people who like adventures and competitions. It reminds us to always be prepared! Even if it doesn't seem cool at the time.

It is a good adventure and teaches you to take the right things on long cycle rides. My favourite character is Fergus because he is the hero. It is also good as a mixture of real cycling and make believe.

I didn’t like this book as it’s a bit boring and I don’t really get the story.
