This is the third in the Track series by Jason Reynolds. This one is written in diary form, and has a unique voice character. Like many early teen boys, Sunny talks and thinks a lot in sound affects. I listened to the book on CD, and the reader does an amazing job of recreating a 13-year-old boy's colorful and a-linear train of thought. He adds rap beats and a variety of vocalizations with abandon. The relationship between Sunny and his still-grieving father creates the emotional center of the book, and like the rest in the series, it has a sweet message about family and friendship.
