Sometimes you gotta jump anyways.
Soaring. Lu was born to lead his team to victory at the championships. Well, actually, he was born albino, but that's got nothing to do with being a track star.
Lu knows he has the talent, but is winning as easy as it seems? Suddenly, there are hurdles in Lu's way... literally and not-so-literally. Can Lu figure out what winning the gold really means?

Reviews
The perfect anchor leg for a well-run literary relay.
Kirkus
This is a book that young Aussie readers may struggle with unless they have some idea of USA culture and can get into the lingo of the street, but it has an appeal that is quite intriguing.
