Ghost by Jason Reynolds

The book I read is called "Ghost" by Jason Reynolds. Ghost is realistic fiction (RF). This book is realistic fiction because The main character, Castle, is a made up character but accomplishes things that people in real life could. For example, he gets into trouble in and out of school. He steals, fights, and gets in trouble. In the book Castle notices a track team while eating sunflower seeds. He gets the idea of joining the track team to get out of schools focus and to prove he is faster than all of them. When he asked his mom she says yes under one condition if he focuses on school. Then the next day he gets into a fight but his coach covers for him as the father. Then he steals shoes for track. Finally, he gets caught and gets kicked off the team. Yet gets back in by proving himself. You would have to read this book to figure out why.


This is overall a book I would recommend to people who can relate to sports and the gear. I would also recommend this book because of the twists turns and page turners. Lastly, this book makes you feel apart of the book. My overall rating to this is five stars due to all the features. of the book.
