This is a video of marathon runners. It shows a new Olympic record being set. It is very inspiring. The book, Ghost is also an inspiring story involving running and pushing oneself to the limit to accomplish a goal. The theme of being an underdog is also shown in this video and book.

This quote shows how Castle grew up in an abusive household. I think it's a good example of how he tried to outrun his past. His first instinct was to run. He accompanied his mother while trying to escape his father. He also used his past to motivate himself to continue running as something positive in his life."

I chose this photo because the image represents runners starting a race. I chose a black and white photo because there is race diversity in the story. I think it will make people want to read Ghost by Jason Reynolds.
Ghost
Hi, My name Harrison and I'm currently reading Ghost by Jason Reynolds. I read The Long Way Down by Jason Reynolds recently and I like this author. This book is about following your hopes and dreams. Exploring activities and challenges are main topics in this book. Jason Reynolds enjoys writing about extreme poverty and the way the youth is effected. Ghost is about a teen named Castle Cranshaw who comes from a poor neighborhood, but is determined to rise above his current situation. He accidentally takes up track and learns that running is more important to him than basketball. He is about to rub the one hundred meter dash against his rival at school, when the story ends with a cliffhanger. There might be a sequel to Ghost in the future and hopefully resume where it left off. I highly recommend this book to readers who enjoy running, and to anyone who might enjoy stories about an underdog.
