![]() Sunny is a story about grief, forgiveness, honesty, and letting go of the screams within. When he begins letting his mother’s running dreams go, Sunny finally starts on his journey towards finding his own rhythm. ![]() Told through Sunny’s diary entries, the third installment in Defenders Track Team series explores Sunny’s transition from long-distance runner to discus-thrower. ![]() But as he practices for this new event, can he let go of everything that’s been eating him up inside? 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. With the growing conflict with his father, Sunny needs his friends on the track team more than ever. When Sunny stops running mid-race one day, he puts forth his first step into reclaiming his own life and making amends with the tragedy of his mother’s death. Actually, he hates running…but Sunny runs because it seems like the only thing Sunny can do right in his dad’s eyes is to win first place ribbons running the mile, just like his mom did. Sunny is the number one mile-running champ at every track meet, but he doesn’t care about that. ![]() The only time Sunny feels like he is doing something right is when he wins races. To make matters worse, Darryl (his dad, who makes Sunny call him by his first name) acts like everything Sunny does is wrong. ![]()
