A beautiful conclusion to the Track series.  Like Patina, it made me cry. A great book about a boy struggling with bullying and a changing family dynamic while feeling in the middle of some trusted adults’ past mistakes.

Something I noticed is that when each book ends on a cliffhanger about one of the kids’ track performances, it’s mentioned early on in the following book that they actually underperformed compared to what the reader might have thought, and that that’s okay. You don’t always have to be the best to be your best self.
