Synopsis

Finalista del Premio Nacional del Libro Para Literatura Joven (National Book Award for Young People’s Literature) y nominada como una de las novelas más queridas de Estados Unidos por The Great American Read de PBS.

Fantasma quiere ser uno de los corredores más veloces en su equipo élite de atletismo en su escuela, pero su pasado lo está retrasando en esta primera electrificante novela de la aclamada serie Track del autor Jason Reynolds, honorario de un Premio Newberry.

Fantasma. Lu. Patina. Sunny. Cuatro jóvenes de familias completamente diferentes, con personalidades que se vuelven explosivas al chocar. Pero son también cuatro jóvenes de secundaria que fueron escogidos para un equipo de élite de atletismo… un equipo que los podría ayudar a clasificar para las Olimpiadas Juveniles. Todos tienen mucho que perder, pero también tienen mucho que demostrar, no solo a sus compañeros sino a sí mismos.

Correr. Eso es todo lo que Fantasma (su verdadero nombre es Castle Cranshaw) jamás había conocido. Pero Fantasma ha estado corriendo por las razones equivocadas—todo empezó cuando huyó de su padre, quien cuando Fantasma era sólo un niño lo persiguió a él y a su madre a través de su apartamento, y luego en la calle, con un arma tirando a matar. Desde entonces Fantasma ha estado causando problemas—hasta que conoce al Entrenador, un ex-medallista olímpico quien logra ver algo en Fantasma: un loco talento natural. Si Fantasma logra mantenerse en el camino correcto, literal y figurativamente, él podría convertirse en el mejor corredor de la ciudad. ¿Podrá Fantasma aprovechar su talento por la velocidad, o será que su pasado por fin lo logrará alcanzar?

Goodreads review by Betsy on August 10, 2016

This is a generalization, but in my experience librarians really enjoy reading within their comfort zones. They’ll travel outside of them from time to time but always they return to the books that they like the most. Children’s librarians are just the same. The fantasy readers stick to fantasy. The......more

Click here to watch a video review of this book on my channel, From Beginning to Bookend. Ghost is a deeply moving book with several important messages for young readers. Castle Crenshaw goes by the name Ghost, because he's a wicked fast runner. The first time he ran -- truly ran -- he was running fo......more

Goodreads review by Maggie on December 26, 2017

Wish I would have had this book alongside all my Beverly Cleary books back in middle school. Like Cleary, Jason Reynolds clearly remembers what it was to be a kid — the private humiliations, the silliness, the outsized misconceptions, the way the tiniest bit of support can change a day.......more

Goodreads review by Mike on November 10, 2016

I saw this on some award nomination list--I can't remember which one. And I don't really care which list it was--Ghost ought to win. It should win all the awards. It's a spectacular book with a perfect voice and exquisitely told story. I cried through the last 20% or so of the book. It's not sad--it......more

Update (03/2021): I mean at this point do we expect me do give Mr. Reynolds anything less? Absolutely not. This book was just as good as I remembered and definitely one that needs to be in the hands in as many kids as possibly. As I've stated in my previous thoughts, Ghost (Castle) is such a complex......more
