Introducing an exciting novel study based on Ghost by Jason Reynolds!
Novel studies are printable companion workbooks to popular books that you can borrow at your local library. They add to a student’s experience of reading a book by providing thought-provoking discussion questions and writing prompts, engaging enrichment activities, and opportunities to build vocabulary.
This novel study is a companion to Ghost by Jason Reynolds and can be printed right at home!
What the book is about:
Running. That’s all Ghost (real name Castle Cranshaw) has ever known. But Ghost has been running for the wrong reasons—it all started with running away from his father, who, when Ghost was a very little boy, chased him and his mother through their apartment, then down the street, with a loaded gun, aiming to kill. Since then, Ghost has been the one causing problems—and running away from them—until he meets Coach, an ex-Olympic Medalist who sees something in Ghost: crazy natural talent. If Ghost can stay on track, literally and figuratively, he could be the best sprinter in the city. Can Ghost harness his raw talent for speed, or will his past finally catch up to him?
