Sunny (Track #3)
by Jason ReynoldsFantasma. Patina. Sunny. Lu. Esta es la historia de cuatro jóvenes de familias completamente diferentes, con personalidades que se vuelven explosivas al chocar. Pero son también cuatro jóvenes de secundaria que fueron escogidos para un equipo de élite de atletismo… un equipo que los podría ayudar a clasificarse para las Olimpiadas Juveniles. Todos tienen mucho que perder, pero también tienen mucho que demostrar, no solo a sus compañeros, sino a sí mismos. Sunny es el protagonista de esta novela, el tercero de cuatro libros en la emocionante serie de literatura juvenil de Jason Reynolds.Sunny es exactamente lo que significa su nombre en inglés: soleado. Siempre con la sonrisa bobalicona y algo agradable que decir, Sunny es el tipo más chévere en el equipo de los Defensores. Pero la vida de Sunny no siempre ha sido un rayo de sol resplandeciente. Verás: Sunny es un asesino. O al menos eso es lo que piensa de sí mismo. Su madre murió al darle a luz, y si nos basamos en el modo en que su padre lo trata —al ignorarlo y hacerle que siempre le diga &“Darryl&”, en lugar de &“papá&”—, no en balde Sunny piensa que la culpa de la muerte de su madre sea suya. Tal parece que lo único que Sunny puede hacer bien según su padre es ganar cintas de primer lugar en las competencias de una milla de distancia, igual que hacía su mamá. Pero a Sunny no le gusta correr; de hecho, nunca le ha gustado. Así que deja de hacerlo. En medio de una competencia. En el momento en que la relación con su padre no podría ir peor, lo último que querría Sunny es dejar a los otros novatos —sus únicos amigos— atrás. Pero no puedes estar en un equipo de atletismo y no correr. Así que el entrenador le pregunta a Sunny qué quiere hacer. ¿Y la respuesta de Sunny? Bailar. Sí, bailar. Pero es que tampoco puedes estar en un equipo de atletismo y bailar. Entonces, en un movida genial que solo podría haber concebido Jason Reynolds, Sunny descubre una modalidad en el atletismo que contiene los ritmos duros del hip hop, la precisión del ballet y las dotes teatrales del baile en general: el lanzamiento del disco. Mientras Sunny practica el lanzamiento del disco, que es aprender a soltarlo a tiempo, también soltará todo lo que lo ha carcomido por dentro.
