TRACK SERIES by Jason Reynolds

Realistic Fiction, Sports, Friendship, African American, Courage

From the Publisher
 "Ghost. Lu. Patina. Sunny. Four kids from wildly different backgrounds with personalities that are explosive when they clash. But they are also four kids chosen for an elite middle school track team--a team that could qualify them for the Junior Olympics if they can get their acts together. They all have a lot to lose, but they also have a lot to prove, not only to each other, but to themselves."

My Comments
Absolute winner for middle school. Put this right up there alongside other sports authors, Walter Dean Myers, and a wide range of realistic fiction authors.
