"Sunny is the chillest dude on the Defenders, an elite middle school track team. Secretly though, Sunny thinks himself as a murderer because his mother died giving birth to him. And the way Sunny's dad treats him doesn't help; it seems the only thing Sunny can do right in his dad's eyes is win races. But Sunny has never liked running; he'd rather dance. So Coach helps Sunny discover a track event that encompasses the hard hits of hip-hop, the precision of ballet, and the showmanship of dance as a whole: the discus throw. As Sunny practices the discus, learning when to let go at just the right time, he'll let go of everything that's been eating him up inside -- perhaps just in time."--Page [4] of cover
