入圍美國國家圖書獎青少年文學獎

被PBS電視台的《偉大的美國讀者》提名為美國最受歡迎小說之一

在這部科麗塔·斯科特·金——約翰·斯特普托獎獲獎作家傑森·雷諾茲——廣受好評的《田徑》系列小說的第一部中，幽靈（Ghost）渴望成為他所在精英中學田徑隊中最快的短跑運動員，但他的過去卻讓他放慢了腳步。

幽靈。露。帕蒂娜。桑尼。四個孩子來自截然不同的背景，個性迥異，一旦衝突就會爆發。但他們也被選入了一支精英中學田徑隊——如果他們能夠齊心協力，這支隊伍將有機會參加青少年奧運。他們都有很多東西要失去，但他們也有很多東西要證明，不僅要向彼此證明，也要向自己證明。

奔跑。這就是幽靈（真名卡斯爾·克蘭肖）所經歷的一切。但Ghost的奔跑之路並非一帆風順——一切都始於逃離父親。 Ghost年幼時，父親曾持上膛的槍追著他和母親穿過公寓，又追到街上，意圖殺人。從那以後，Ghost就成了惹是生非的人，並且總是逃避現實。直到他遇到了教練——一位前奧運獎牌得主——他看到了Ghost身上的某種特質：超凡的天賦。如果Ghost能夠堅持下去，無論從字面上還是像徵意義上來說，他都能成為這座城市最優秀的短跑運動員。 Ghost能否駕馭他與生俱來的速度天賦，還是他的過去最終會讓他吃盡苦頭？

Ghost wants to be the fastest sprinter on his elite middle school track team, but his past is slowing him down in this first electrifying novel of the acclaimed Trackseries from Coretta Scott King - John Steptoe Award–winning author Jason Reynolds.

Ghost. Lu. Patina. Sunny. Four kids from wildly different backgrounds with personalities that are explosive when they clash. But they are also four kids chosen for an elite middle school track team—a team that could qualify them for the Junior Olympics if they can get their acts together. They all have a lot to lose, but they also have a lot to prove, not only to each other, but to themselves.

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?
