Sunny (3) (Track)

This was such a powerful and emotional book. It’s my favorite in the series so far.Sunny lost his mother at birth and he’s always considered himself in debt to her. He runs for her honor and he’s great at it, except it’s not what his heart wants.Sunny has a difficult relationship with his father and the distance between them is one of the main subjects of the diary entries that make up this book.Sunny speaks to “Diary” as if it’s a person...sometimes his mother and sometimes his father and sometime neither...but it’s so touching and transformational.Wonderful.

I'm so confused. I don't know what went wrong here. I'm actually a little annoyed with this book. I feel like the quality has decreased from one book to the next. Ghost was such a great book, but I can't say the same about the rest of the series.This one was the worst so far. It's such a shame because I was really looking forward to Sunny's story. He was always one of my favorite characters, and I had such high hopes.It was written in "Dear Diary" style, and unfortunately, I found Sunny's narrative voice to be very annoying. And all those sounds "boom, tish, rrrah, bla", I just couldn't take it.The story would have been so much more touching and emotionally charged had it been written in verse form or regular narrative, but all these diary entries were...kind of lame.There were a few gems in there, and that doesn't surprise me because I know what Jason Reynolds is capable of. I give it a 2 stars, because I'm biased and I love Reynolds. But in truth, I'm not sure it deserves more than a star.

Again! He did it again! Left us wanting more! I love his characters and the emotional integrity and plot development! I want to read the next one as soon as possible! The voices come to life. The conflicts are universal. My son and I read the book out loud to each other. It’s great bonding time! We laughed out loud as well as many more emotions.

Jason Reynolds has done it again! Sunny’s story is beautifully written in a diary that I want to read over and over again.

got this for my son. he loves reading Jason Reynolds' books. That says a lot about Reynolds' writings. It's almost impossible to get my son to read. but he goes out of the way to get me to buy him Jason's books and he reads them right right away. Thanks for being able to appeal to boys like my son.

I’m a 5th grade teacher and I have read the entire Track series... my students love this book and the authors craft and use of figurative language.. I loved Patina the most but Sunny was a close second.. even brought a tear or two to my eyes

10 year old son loves this series!

Jason Reynolds is amazing. My little brother loves this series so much.
