This document provides a summary of the book "End of the Race" by Dean Hughes. It discusses two boys, Jared and Davin, from different ethnic groups who are selected by their coach to run on the same relay team. Though they become friends as teammates, Jared finds Davin's reminders of their differences annoying while Davin does not like how Jared beats around the bush. The story confronts issues of racism and shows how the boys' friendship is threatened, despite their fathers having been friends previously. It emphasizes how the book illustrates that unity and friendship can be forged despite differences, though challenges may be faced, and that with effort conflicts can be resolved.
