Lu (Spanish Edition)

Gr 4-8–Lu is more than just a fast runner. He’s an explosion of attitude, confidence, and, at the same time, a hidden vulnerability beneath all his swagger. Reynolds delivers another gem with this electrifying story, where Lu, with his flashy sneakers and oversized ego, faces his biggest challenge yet: seeing himself beyond his speed and the image he’s carefully built. From the first chapter, readers will feel the weight of loneliness disguised as arrogance. Lu has never had real friends, but for the first time, Ghost, Patina, and Sunny see him for who he is, and that is a boy searching for his place, wrestling with the shadow of his father, and, though he runs like the wind, unable to outrun himself. Reynolds immerses us in a vibrant, rhythmic narrative, where every race is a metaphor for life, and every hurdle on the track mirrors Lu’s internal struggles. Lu isn’t just a novel about track and field; it’s about identity, friendship, and the courage to strip away the mask. Powerful, honest, and with an unforgettable ending, this story is a true sprint to the heart that readers will learn from and connect with.
