Bookroo's summary
Nelson Greenwood, a budding comic artist, idolizes his BMX-racing twin, Nick. When Nick's crash sidelines him from the BMX-Treme Competition, he urges Nelson to race in his stead. Facing fierce competitors like Cain Otto, Nelson must channel the courage of his comic hero, Major Speed. Will he rise to the challenge and prove himself on the track?
From the publisher
Nelson Greenwood loves BMX racing, almost as much as he loves to draw superheroes. The hero of his own comic book, Major Speed, isn’t afraid of anything, much like Nelson’s twin brother Nick. Nelson looks up to Nick and his mad BMX skills. But when a rough crash keeps Nick out of the BMX-Treme Competition, he suggests that Nelson take his place. However, Nelson doesn’t think he has what it takes to compete against the best racers in the city - especially Nick’s nemesis, Cain Otto. Can Nelson shift gears and muster the courage and strength of Major Speed to compete in the race? Combining a high-stakes sports story with a dynamic full-color comic format, this Jake Maddox Graphic Novel is sure to be a win for young athletes and struggling readers alike.
