is Ghost by Jason Reynolds. The first in a promising new series, Ghost is about a young runner struggling to prove himself on an elite track team. Castle lives in a poor neighborhood with his mother; they survived an attempt on their lives from Castle's father a year before he decided to running track. He uses his experience to drive his training to be the fastest sprinter on the team. Though the plot sounds like a typical sport narrative, the characters are written with nuance and dimension that make this story worth reading.
