4-6Track series.
While preparing for the track championship and competing in a new event--the hurdles--Defenders co-captain Lu, who has albinism, learns a secret about his father that could potentially upend their close relationship. Meanwhile, Lu also must face a nemesis from his past. Reynolds takes great care in crafting multidimensional characters who confront real dilemmas and demonstrate that our shortcomings do not ultimately define us.
