About this book
A #1 New York Times Bestselling Author
Sunny is the chillest dude on the Defenders. But his life hasn't always been sun beamy-bright. His mother died giving birth to him, and based on how Sunny's dad treats him it's no wonder Sunny thinks he's to blame. It seems the only thing Sunny can do right in his dad's eyes is win first place ribbons running the mile. But Sunny doesn't like running, so he stops. Right in the middle of a race. Coach asks Sunny what he wants to do. Sunny's answer? Dance. Yes, dance. But you also can't be on a track team and dance. Then, 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. But as he practices for this new event, can he let go of everything that's been eating him up inside?
