Ghost is a young adult novel by Jason Reynolds which follows seventh-grader Castle “Ghost” Cranshaw as he joins a track team and struggles to deal with his past and his present. As a child, Ghost had to flee his apartment with his mother when his father, in a drunken rage, tried to kill them.

Explanation:

A ghost chapter is not always a chapter, and it's not necessarily written by or about ghosts. In fact, any piece of writing that shows another side of a given story is a ghost chapter! Refer to the novel to get an idea of how your narrator might talk, and try to capture his or her voice in your writing.

Main idea:

Fears must be faced. Fears must be faced, argues Jason Reynolds in his novel Ghost. Fears plague everyone's lives, but they cannot be allowed to weigh one down. Instead, they must be confronted and must be dealt with by each person.
