He���s eccentric, his thoughts are all over the place, and he is so full of energy that sometimes it just gets away from him. Sunny is a fantastic character and a joy to encounter in children's literature. But Sunny…well I've loved him since book #1 and I’m not sure if it’s because I listened to this rather than read it like I did with the previous two but I absolutely, positively fell in love with Sunny even more in this book. The four kids in this series are impulsive, loud, funny, quick to react, loyal etc. Jason Reynolds has a way of writing kids as well, like kids and I can totally see why he has won multiple awards for his books. I will admit that I have read the other two books in this series and have really enjoyed them so that might have (slightly) influenced my enjoyment of this book but not really. But Sunny doesn’t particularly like running, instead, he wants to do something different. Sunny does one thing on the team, he runs and he wins, he runs and he wins, he runs and he wins, he runs and he wins. It is the 3rd book in the Track series and it follows 12-year-old Sunny Lancaster, the #1 middle distance runner of the Defenders. Right in the middle of a race.I listened to the audio book narrated by Guy Lockard* But Sunny doesn’t like running, never has. It seems the only thing Sunny can do right in his dad’s eyes is win first place ribbons running the mile, just like his mom did. His mother died giving birth to him, and based on how Sunny’s dad treats him-ignoring him, making Sunny call him Darryl, never “Dad”-it’s no wonder Sunny thinks he’s to blame. Or at least he thinks of himself that way. But Sunny’s life hasn’t always been sun beamy-bright. Always ready with a goofy smile and something nice to say, Sunny is the chillest dude on the Defenders team. Sunny is the main character in this novel, the third of four books in Jason Reynold’s electrifying middle grade series. They all have a lot of lose, but they all have a lot to prove, not only to each other, but to themselves. But they are also four kids chosen for an elite middle school track team-a team that could qualify them for the Junior Olympics. Four kids from wildly different backgrounds, with personalities that are explosive when they clash. 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.
