Lo esperado el libro sin mas

This book slaps you in the face and demands your attention right from the first few pages. It's a story of hope and finding the right path through life, especially when you haven't had the easiest start. Personally I loved it, and have now handed it to my 9 year to read for his opinion on whether it should be for Y6+ or if Y5 could read too. This book will challenge some, with an introduction to a violent father in the beginning of the book, but it is done in a sensitive and non sensational way, and very much in context to illustrate Ghost's challenges to be overcome in the story. You will leave the story uplifted, and all the richer for stepping into the shoes of another's life.

Amazing book

Title: Ghost By: Jason Reynolds Pub. Day: August 30, 2016 Genre: Fiction, Realistic, Sports, Middle Grade, Sports, Recommended Age: 5th-9th grade Trigger Warnings: Violence, Domestic Abuse, Substance Abuse, Trauma, Bullying Favorite Quotes: “You can't run away from who you are, but what you can do is run toward who you want to be.” “Trouble is, you can't run away from yourself." Coach snatched the towel from his shoulder, folded into a perfect square, and set it in the space between us. "Unfortunately," he said, "ain't nobody that fast.” “Don't ever let someone call your life, your dreams, little." -Mr. Charles” Review: Castle Crenshaw is a very fast runner, so quick he is nicknamed “Ghost”, in most cases he is escaping with everything he’s got, however, after a challenge with a sprinter Ghost finds running is about more than just escaping, it can be his life saver. Jason Reynolds writes middle grade and young adult fiction masterfully! He knows exactly how to skillfully pack in a wealth of middle grade themes and elements without overwhelming the reader. “Ghost” is the first in this series, and the novel has a dynamic and realistic main character in Ghost. The readers are naturally drawn to him, as he is grounded in real life emotions. Due to his traumatic past, Ghost’s heart learned to run from everything, instead of opening and trusting in others. This novel is so powerful! We read this as a family when it was first published. As a middle school English teacher, I quickly purchased a classroom set and we read it as a class through COVID. It’s life changing!!! Without exception, my students connected deeply with “Ghost”, a novel that continues to be a classroom favorite year after year! I was THRILLED to see it on Netgalley and couldn’t wait to read it again, and quickly write my most favorite book reviews! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED AUTHOR!!! ***It should be noted, Jason Reynolds really strikes a powerful chord with boys, even those who usually don’t enjoy reading. Hearing “Ghost” and other novels written by Reynolds, especially read aloud, helps boys instantly relate to the main character, and before long, they’re hooked. It’s a total game-changer!*** Thank you to Jason Reynolds, Simon and Schuster Children's Publishing | Atheneum/Caitlyn Dlouhy Books and NetGalley for the opportunity of an Advanced Readers Copy.
