Catalogue synopsis

Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:

"Motor Matt; or, The King of the Wheel" by Stanley R. Matthews is a thrilling adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Matt King, a talented athlete with a mysterious past, who faces challenges both on the track and off as he deals with rivals, friendships, and unexpected tensions. The narrative unfolds in the backdrop of a bicycle racing competition, blending elements of youth sports, competition, and camaraderie. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Matt and his friends, including Susie McReady and Chub, as they navigate the trials of adolescence in Phoenix. The opening chapter depicts a tense encounter between Matt and Dace Perry, an antagonist with a spiteful streak. After intervening in a confrontation involving Susie and Perry, Matt begins to realize that his athletic abilities and status are under threat, not only from Perry but also from a vengeful fellow student named Clipperton. As tensions rise, Matt prepares for a crucial bicycle try-out amid growing conflicts, setting the stage for a fierce competition and the pursuit of victory in the upcoming races.
