Following on from the successful Seasons and Nature series from award-winning author Sam Usher, this is the final book in Sam's Transport quartet featuring the much-loved Boy and Grandad.

Boy has the most wonderful dessert-filled dream so he and Grandad decide to have ice cream for breakfast. Having cycled up a few hills, disaster strikes when they discover all the ice cream has sold out. Boy and Grandad soon concoct a plan, but it involves creating a faster form of transport... In this exciting new story, Whoosh! sees Boy and Grandad use their imagination and resourcefulness to create a flying balloon-powered bike. They whoosh all the way to Ice Cream Mountain encountering obstacles along the way such as a sprinkle storm. Guaranteed to increase ice cream sales, this is a delightful family read exploring creativity and perseverance, all the while following the enduring and heart-warming Boy-Grandad relationship.
