The Big Biscuit Bake Off

Flying Fergus #3

by Chris Hoy, Joanna Nadin, Clare Elsom (illustrator)

The third in Sir Chris Hoy's fantastically fun, magical cycling adventure series.


Fergus and his friends are still glowing with pride at being runners' up in the Great Cycle Challenge and practicing hard for the next round of the cycling competition - the District Championships. But without fancy bikes and with only the local common to train on, can the team really go all the way?


Then disaster strikes the team when local biscuit company, Bruce's Biscuits announce plans to build their new factory on the common. They have offered the council a lot of money for the land and there's no hope for Fergus and the team to raise enough to match it. Fergus hopes that if he can find Dad in Nevermore he might have a bright idea to help them. But when Fergus spins the pedals backwards on his bike three times, he gets more than he bargained for!

Lovro Horvat je sasvim običan dječak koji sanja o tome da postane najbolji biciklist na svijetu. Dar koji je htio za svoj nadolazeći rođendan bila je Munja, najnoviji trkaći bicikl. No, kako to obično biva, za rođendan je dobio stari hrđavi bicikl, koji su si, za razliku od Munje, njegova mama i djed mogli priuštiti.

A fun read I rate 4.5 stars – Recommended for Younger Readers
Aged 8-11 years old

I read this pretty quickly in light of the closing ceremony of the -Olympic Games in Rio, just felt so appropriate as this great book is about an ordinary boy who has to face a cycling tournament that looks as though it will turn into a bake off as a biscuit factory intends to expand their factory to Fergus’ favourite park. I highly recommend to younger readers between the ages 8-11 years old. A funny story line with a touch of magic, great introduction of the characters in the beginning of the book with illustrations throughout the book.

Special thanks to Allen & Unwin Publishers for sending me this Advanced Review Copy in exchange for my honest review.

The local commons is at risk of being sold by Council to the local biscuit factory. Fergus and his friends learn a valuable lesson about hard work and community spirit as they fight to save the park and build a cycle track.

Miss 6 and I like to explore different books and authors at the library, sometimes around particular topics or themes. We try to get different ones out every week or so; it's fun for both of us to have the variety and to look at a mix of new & favourite authors.
