520    "One hundred years ago, one of the most popular spectator 
       sports was bicycle racing, and the man to beat was 
       Marshall "Major" Taylor, who set records in his teens and 
       won his first world championship by age twenty. The first 
       African American world champion in cycling and the second 
       Black athlete to win a world championship in any sport, 
       Major Taylor faced down challenge after challenge, not 
       least the grueling Six-Day Race, a test of speed, strength,
       and endurance. With energy, heart, and pounding verse, 
       Charles R. Smith Jr. evokes the excitement of the crowd at
       Madison Square Garden as Major powered through exhaustion,
       hallucinations, and racist abuse from fellow riders, who 
       tried to crash his bike throughout the competition. Leo 
       Espinosa's dynamic illustrations capture the action, and 
       as day six draws to a close, and Major's odds narrow, 
       there is little doubt that his triumphant rise and legacy 
       as an international cycling champion are assured--whatever
       the outcome of one race--in this high-octane tribute to a 
       trailblazing athlete"--|cProvided by publisher.
