Ghost

by Jason Reynolds

Ages 10–13 Reading age 10 Novel Set in everyday life thoughtfuladventurous

Castle can run, because he once had to. A track coach spots him racing a sprinter for fun and offers him a place on the team, and rules to keep.

A story about children and a grown-up hero, thoughtful and adventurous in tone. We would put it with children of 10–13, and at a reading age of about 10 for reading alone.

Worth knowing before you buy

None of this makes it a bad book — often the opposite. It is here so you can decide whether it is right for your child now or in a year or two.

Or let them write their own.

Nothing gets a child reading like a story they invented themselves. Your child plans the characters and the plot, and we write, illustrate and print it as a real book with their name on the cover as the author.
