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?
No one is too small to make a change. Growing up, there is so much
out of our control and to feel frustrated about. But in this
inspiring and practical handbook, bestselling children's author and
Human Rights campaigner, Onjali Rauf, shares her top ten ways for
finding hope, creating change and making a difference. With the
help of her favourite fictional characters and some of the most
inspiring people she has ever met, Onjali invites readers to dive
in and discover everything there is to know about kindness,
empathy, friendship and fighting for the things that matter. (Plus,
cool stuff like X-ray vision and detecting negative forces. Yes!)
Because with a bit of compassion, a big dollop of hope and even the
smallest act of kindness, magical things can happen. Hope is on the
horizon; here's how children everywhere can find it. Parental
guidance recommended: issues related to discrimination, injustice
and prejudice are included.

14-year-old Max only has one person he can really talk to. Her name
is Ana - also known as anorexia, his eating disorder. Max writes to
Ana every day. She feeds on his fears, encouraging him to lose more
and more weight. For Christmas, Max gets an unusual present from
his older brother Robin: a geocache. He hides it in the forest near
their house, thrilled by the anonymity it gives him. Anyone can
leave Max a note - and soon, he gets one from the mysterious 'E'.
Could it be the Evie, the new girl at school, playing tricks on
him? In the midst of a family crisis, Max's eating disorder quickly
deteriorates. Ana pulls him further and further away from his
family and friends, until he feels totally alone. Can anyone help
him find a way out? Drawing on debut author Samuel Pollen's own
experiences, this is an unforgettable, uplifting story of one boy's
battle with anorexia.

How should a guy protect himself from injury or disease while

experiencing and why, along with ways to get help for serious
problems like drug and alcohol abuse or suicidal tendencies. The
many topics covered include: nutrition, sports, injuries,

issues. Written with an emphasis on wellness, advice is given on
how to prevent injuries and disease, as well as how to care for
one's body through good habits like eating well and getting enough
sleep. Boys are encouraged to take care of themselves and to
develop open and honest relationships with their physicians to help
insure a happy and healthy adolescence.
