In elite sport, the margin between victory and defeat is miniscule, and the pressure is immense. Chris has built a glittering sporting career on understanding these moments: how to feel for them, how to cope with them, how to make them count. Last year, he faced another life-changing moment. He found out that the ache in his shoulder was in fact a tumour, and that he had Stage 4 cancer. He will be living with this disease for the rest of his life.

A collection of four stories from the fantastically fun, magical cycling adventure series, Flying Fergus. Four stories featuring Fergus - a boy with a big imagination and a very special bike... The Best Birthday Bike, The Great Cycle Challenge, The Big Biscuit Bike Off and The Championship Cheats.

The Wreck-It Race: Fergus is sure their new coach is going to be his ultimate hero, cycle champ 'Spokes' Sullivan, so when Grandpa introduces Charlotte Campbell, the children are all less than impressed by her interesting training methods - yoga, wheelbarrow races and Wreck-It Run, a charity race where everyone creates their own adapted bikes from parts and must compete in pairs. Fergus is sure Charlie is off her rocker - how will this help them get faster for the International time trials?

Two more stories from the fantastically fun, magical cycling adventure series, Flying Fergus.
