Fantasma quiere ser uno de los corredores más veloces en su equipo élite de atletismo en su escuela, pero su pasado lo está retrasando en esta primera electrificante novela de la aclamada serie Track del autor Jason Reynolds, honorario de un Premio Newberry. Fantasma. Lu. Patina. Sunny. Cuatro jóvenes de familias completamente diferentes, con personalidades que se vuelven explosivas al chocar. Pero son también cuatro jóvenes de secundaria que fueron escogidos para un equipo de élite de atletismo... un equipo que los podría ayudar a clasificar para las Olimpiadas Juveniles. Todos tienen mucho que perder, pero también tienen mucho que demostrar, no solo a sus compañeros sino a sí mismos. Correr. Eso es todo lo que Fantasma (su verdadero nombre es Castle Cranshaw) jamás había conocido. Pero Fantasma ha estado corriendo por las razones equivocadas--todo empezó cuando huyó de su padre, quien cuando Fantasma era sólo un niño lo persiguió a él y a su madre a través de su apartamento, y luego en la calle, con un arma tirando a matar. Desde entonces Fantasma ha estado causando problemas--hasta que conoce al Entrenador, un ex-medallista olímpico quien logra ver algo en Fantasma: un loco talento natural. Si Fantasma logra mantenerse en el camino correcto, literal y figurativamente, él podría convertirse en el mejor corredor de la ciudad. Podrá Fantasma aprovechar su talento por la velocidad, o será que su pasado por fin lo logrará alcanzar?Author Biography
