Summary:
Ghost wants to be the fastest sprinter on his elite middle-school track team, but his past is slowing him down. The plot contains violence and drug dealing.
This is a great book for reluctant readers because it is short, about boys and sports. However, It is also about an African American boy who has a tough life and accidently finds himself on a city track team. But he messes up and fortunately, a caring adult gives him some tough love and lots of support to move forward. This book is the first book in a planned series of books about the same track team.
