GHOST by Jason Reynolds

Y'all. This book.

This book got me.

This story is about running. Who you run for. And who you run from.

Castle Cranshaw (who prefers to be called "Ghost") is a kid from the wrong neighborhood, with a love of sunflower seeds and basketball, and a habit of getting into "altercations" until he stumbles upon a track practice and decides to step into a race. Coach takes note of Ghost's natural talent of running and offers him a spot on the team.

Listen. This book is incredible and everyone needs to read it. Sure, it seems like a predictable story. You know Coach is gonna be great and you know Ghost is going to be challenged by being a part of a team. You even know that somehow he's going to get caught in his latest "altercation". But you don't know how!

Ah! I loved this book so much! I can't even pick a favorite part because it's just that good.  And the best part: It's the first of a series!!! I cannot wait for more!

EVERYONE READ THIS BOOK!
