Couldn’t put the book down!
Published by Nicole , 1 year ago
Had the good fortune of hearing Jason Reynolds speak on a panel at TLA ‘23. Promptly read this afterwards. I loved it! Ghost shows the importance of perseverance, hope, a little self-discipline, and guidance. Excellent book for children going through a hard time. Definitely going to finish the Track series.
Classroom Library Necessity
Published by An English Teacher , 5 years ago
Every student (from 7th grade to 12th) in my classes that has read this series has raved about it! From the writing style to the relatable content, this is a book you can’t put down and, more importantly, neither can the kids! Never met a Jason Reynolds book that I didn’t like!
