But can you ever really run away from any of this? As the stress builds up, it’s building up a pretty bad attitude as well. So Patty’s also running for her mom, who can’t. She runs from the reason WHY she’s not able to live with her “real” mom any more: her mom has The Sugar, and Patty is terrified that the disease that took her mom’s legs will one day take her away forever. She runs for many reasons-to escape the taunts from the kids at the fancy-schmancy new school she’s been sent to since she and her little sister had to stop living with their mom. They all have a lot to lose, but they also have a lot to prove, not only to each other, but to themselves. But they are also four kids chosen for an elite middle school track team-a team that could qualify them for the Junior Olympics if they can get their acts together. Four kids from wildly different backgrounds with personalities that are explosive when they clash. A newbie to the track team, Patina must learn to rely on her teammates as she tries to outrun her personal demons in this follow-up to the National Book Award finalist Ghost by New York Times bestselling author Jason Reynolds. Patina is the second book in the Track series by Jason Reynolds. Award-winning author Jason Reynolds returns with a sequel to his young adult novel Miles Morales: Spider-Man.This one is called Miles Morales Suspended, and it continues the adventures of an 'unassuming, everyday kid who just so happens to be Spider-Man.'.
