Ghost

Jason Reynolds

Castle Cranshaw, known as Ghost, has a quick temper, worn clothes, and remarkable speed. A coach notices that speed and persuades him to join an elite city track team, where demanding rules and training challenge him. Ghost is also carrying the memory of his imprisoned father threatening him and his mother with a gun. Determined to prove himself, he shoplifts expensive track shoes and believes they improve his performance, though the shoes begin to affect how he thinks about running.
