Patina (Track) Review: Clever book in a series - My son read the book Ghost by the same author (Jason Reynolds) in school and he was immediately inspired to not only read the rest of the books in this series (including Patina), but also to start running track. This is a very clever way to tell a story about a track team through multiple character's perspective. The book Patina, is told by Patina, however some of the other characters involved with this track team, have their own designated story/book. There are five in the series: Ghost, Patina, Sunny, Lu, and Coach. A great choice if you are looking for a series for a middle school student who likes to run. Review: good - It was good. I’d read it again. Ghost is better through but the drama is ok as well. Yay hah ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #423,966 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #112 in Children's Sports & Outdoors Books (Books) #611 in Children's Friendship Books #1,442 in Children's Family Life Books (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,474 Reviews | ## Images ![Patina (Track) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61GYzlxDxzL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Clever book in a series *by C***A on January 1, 2026* My son read the book Ghost by the same author (Jason Reynolds) in school and he was immediately inspired to not only read the rest of the books in this series (including Patina), but also to start running track.

Ghost is better through but the drama is ok as well. Yay hah ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A fantastic novel for anyone of any age *by M***G on August 15, 2021* After reading a review of this novel a couple of days ago, I purchased it immediately and tore through it. As a 60-something white grandmother to a live-in brown granddaughter, I am reading everything I can get my hands on to learn about the challenges she faces. Middle-schooler Patty (Patina) navigates a life in which her father has died, her mother - to whom she is very close -- cannot care for her and her little sister, her black uncle and white aunt provide a home for them, her charter school seems to be predominantly white, and her elite track team is her salvation (as well as one of her big struggles). Some of the difficulties she faces are universal to 12yo girls in America, some are unique to her family situation, and all are affected by color and cultures. She and extended family and friends all support one another in big and loving ways, but that doesn't prevent one conundrum and sometimes crisis after another from presenting itself. As a former teacher of middle school literature, I wish I had a class with which to share this book. As a grandmother, I found in Patty a hero for the toddler in my life. And as a white gm, I appreciated the clear depictions and occasional parenthentical explanations of things I'm trying to learn about, like beads and hair wrapping.
