Discover each of their stories in this complete collection of Jason Reynolds's explosive New York Times bestselling Track series.

A fast but fiery group of kids from wildly different backgrounds, chosen to compete on an elite track team. Then, in a stroke of genius only Jason Reynolds can conceive, Sunny discovers a track event that encompasses the hard beats of hip-hop, the precision of ballet, and the showmanship of dance as a whole: the discus throw.Race through Jason Reynolds's New York Times bestselling Track series, now in a complete boxed set. But you also can't be on a track team and dance. But you can't be on a track team and not run. With his relationship with his dad now worse than ever, the last thing Sunny wants to do is leave the other newbies-his only friends-behind. 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 his 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.
