Description

It's not the taking part, it's the winning that counts for Patina!

Patty, as she's known to her friends and family, has lost a lot in her life—her dad died when she was young, her mum has lost her legs, and now she has to live with her uncle and his wife. On top of that, Patty has to go to the poshest school that ever existed.

Now her running team has become a relay team, and independent "I can do everything by myself" Patty has to work with her team mates to win.

Patina explores themes of resilience, teamwork, and the challenges of adapting to new situations.
