Sunny by Jason Reynolds
4.0
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+.
