Patina "Patty" Jones is the fastest girl on the Defenders track team.  Her competitive spirit doesn't take it well when she comes in second in a race. Her coach, in an effort to make her a team player, assigns her to a relay race, where she has to be a team player. This book touches on many contemporary issues without feeling like a book about "issues:. Recommended for grades 5-8.
