Sunny (Track)

Sunny tries to shine despite his troubled past in this third novel in the critically acclaimed Track series from National Book Award finalist Jason Reynolds.

Ghost. Patina. Sunny. Lu. Four kids from wildly different backgrounds, with personalities that are explosive when they clash. But they are also four kids chosen for an elite middle school track teamâ€”a team that could take them to the state championships. They all have a lot to lose, but they all have a lot to prove, not only to each other, but to themselves. Sunny is the main character in this novel, the third of four books in Jason Reynoldâ€™s electrifying middle grade series.

Sunny is just thatâ€”sunny. Always ready with a goofy smile and something nice to say, Sunny is the chillest dude on the Defenders team. But his life hasnâ€™t always been sun beamy-bright. You see, Sunny is a murderer. Or at least he thinks of himself that way. His mother died giving birth to him, and based on how Sunnyâ€™s dad treats himâ€”ignoring him, making Sunny call him Darryl, never â€œDadâ€â€”itâ€™s no wonder Sunny thinks heâ€™s to blame. It seems the only thing Sunny can do right in his dadâ€™s eyes is win first place ribbons running the mile, just like his mom did. But Sunny doesnâ€™t like running, never has. So he stops. Right in the middle of a race.

With his relationship with his dad now worse than ever, the last thing Sunny wants to do is leave the other newbiesâ€”his only friendsâ€”behind. But you canâ€™t be on a track team and not run. So Coach asks Sunny what he wants to do. Sunnyâ€™s answer? Dance. Yes, dance. But you also canâ€™t be on a track team and dance. Then, in a stroke of genius only Jason Reynolds can conceive, Sunny discovers a track event that encompasses the hard beats of hip-hop, the precision of ballet, and the showmanship of dance as a whole: the discus throw. But as he practices for this new event, can he let go of everything thatâ€™s been eating him up inside?
