“Guy Lockard rolls into Sunny’s lolling, goofball voice from the moment you press play and hear the character telling his not-diary that he’s brought it “backity-back-back-back.” The third in Jason Reynolds’ Track series, Sunny follows the titular third member of the series’ pre-Olympic middle school track team as he figures out how to contribute to the team if he hates running, but loves dancing. His solution: Discus.
Trailing Sunny as he makes this journey is, as one teen Audible review described it, “gucci,” and not least because of Lockard’s perfect performance of the stream of consciousness flow constantly coming out of Sunny’s pen. The whole series is a must-listen, but Sunny is a particular treat.”
