I love that Jason Reynold gave a voice to individuals that express themselves differently. I think that young readers that might feel a little left out should read this entire series for sure but especially Sunny.

Terrific voice, enjoyable story. Interesting to see how the characters develop over the series.

Long distance runner Sunny narrates this third entry in Jason Reynold’s Track series via his diary. Sunny’s mother died the day he was born. His father’s been pushing Sunny to run after her ever since, but now Sunny’s tired of running and ready to pursue his own passion. Although he loves to dance, he doesn’t want to leave the family he’s found on the track team – so Coach offers him discus. Sunny fills his diary with introspection and rhythm that matches how he finds sounds in every movement. Sunny explores a 12 year old African-American boy’s week of upheaval as he embraces a new sport and repairs his relationship with his dad. Age 9+.

It was tougher for me to connect with Sunny than Ghost and Patty - his brain just moves at a faster frequency than mine. But you can’t help but love him, huh? Even with that hyper speed. Lu, you’re on deck and I’m ready.

I didn’t like this one nearly as much as the first two, but still enjoyed it. Audio book is a must for this one!

Read to review for middle school. Enjoyed it, but think I liked Ghost better. I do enjoy his writing and truly feel like you get to know his characters.

I don’t know why—this book was just a little harder for me to get into than the rest of the series. I didn’t love the Dear Diary format. To me it just gave off a totally different vibe than the rest of the series.

I loved that the format was a little different on this one, and I did cry once. It was well done, and Jason Reynolds rewards us for sticking with the series. Can't wait to get my hands on Lu!

The audiobook narrator is FANTASTIC. He really elevated the story
