Ghost

Ghost is the first book in the "Track" series, which follows the experiences of four different runners on a middle school track team. While each book can be read independently, they share characters and build upon the world established in Ghost.

Ghost was a National Book Award Finalist for Young People's Literature. It also received a Coretta Scott King Author Honor, recognizing its outstanding contribution to children's literature by an African American author.

Ghost is part of Jason Reynolds' broader body of work that often explores themes of identity, community, and resilience in young Black characters. While not directly linked to his other series like "Long Way Down" or "Patina," it shares his distinctive narrative voice and focus on contemporary youth experiences.
