Running is all that Castle Cranshaw, a.k.a. “Ghost”, has ever known, but he runs for all the wrong reasons—until he meets Coach, who sees something in him: raw talent. The story follows Castle as he tries to stay on track, literally and figuratively, harnessing his aptitude for speed on an elite local track team while battling the difficult realities of his past and present. Based on the award winning bestseller by Jason Reynolds, Ghost also highlights the importance of allyship. As his teammates become friends and Coach stands in as a father figure, Castle finds a place where he belongs.
