When plucky Ernest Bradshaw from Bolton, England overhears his mother talking about the threat of nuclear war, he decides he might as well achieve something before the world blows up... What better than to become a cycling champion? Ernest, however, is faced with a set of problems; no money and no bicycle. The closer he gets to achieving his ambition, the more he realizes that adolescence, school, tests of friendships and even a teenage love triangle are getting in the way. Not to mention the ups and downs of cycling with its achievements and disappointments and of course the global uncertainty in the news. Find out how Ernest and the rest of the world (even Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II gets her own chapter) coped with the events of 1962 in this human interest story. Cover illustrated by Lyndsey Prince
