Join the Fall 2021 Tween Book Club!
Ghost is an award-winning novel that tells the tale of Castle "Ghost" Crenshaw, a kid who is running from his own past and crashes the school's track practice. When the coach puts him on the team, he finds more than a sport. What happens when we have a community of support to help us through our hardest times?
