The book I read this trimester was Ghost by Jason Reynolds.
One of the other books that he has is All American Boy. I read that book also
it was a good book too. Ghost and All American Boy or kinda different but the
same. They both have a young boy that have troubles in their life. But in All
American Boy there are two different authors. Ghost is basically about a
troubled boy going to a new school and getting bullied. The theme of my story
is a kid running from his problems and life.
An example from the story is. The first day Ghost started
school it was not that good. When he was in class trying to make friends and
stuff. This girl says something about his shoes and Ghost is very upset because
the whole class starts laughing. But he doesn't let that stop him he tries to
keep making friends. That same day he tells his mom about what happened and she
cheers him up by saying. “Nobody cause judge my beautiful boy”. Then this is
when it gets bad about 3 or 2 weeks after that he made a lot of friends. But
then this boy named Benjamin Simmons starts messing with him but this time he
couldn't control his angry. And they fight, so they take something from Ghost
that he cares for the most track and Ghost is very angry. You have to read it
to find out what happens next.
I really liked Ghost it has a lot of action and conflicts
and that's what I look at in books.
This book is written for people who are inspiring bullying
and love to run track. You should pick up Ghost the 2nd paragraph wasn't even
the most exciting part. Hope you will go read cause I give it a 5 star.
