From the Inside Flap

You think you have problems? Try being me, Guy Martin, the fastest runner in the world. I can run 92.7 miles an hour. But before I can use my super speed to become a real superhero, I have to be a sidekick. As Speedy, the certified sidekick to Pumpkin Pete, I have to help the League of Big Justice save the world during the day but still get all my homework done and make curfew at night. And I can't tell anyone about this stuff, especially not Prudence Cane, the most beautiful girl in school, even if she's falling for another guy, Mandrake Steel (a.k.a. Charisma Kid).

And I have to try to look cool wearing spandex. Sheesh.
