Description

Sunny is a gifted runner whose speed comes with a heavy price: he believes his mother’s death is tied to him, and his father’s blame turns every race into something more than competition. When a new coach and the Defenders’ team begin to see the whole person behind the athlete, Sunny is pushed to confront his grief and redefine what “winning” can mean. As he discovers how track can share space with his true passion for dancing, he learns to move forward without erasing the past. Blending athletic momentum with emotional honesty, this novel explores family, accountability, identity, and the healing power of finding your own rhythm—written in Jason Reynolds’s vivid, fast-moving style.
