What a great story!! I can't wait to read the rest of the series and see the other characters' perspectives. This book is a very quick read and I would definitely recommend for middle-school students. Castle "Ghost"'s story really brought to light the idea that where you come from is a part of who you are but it doesn't have to define you forever. You can still pursue your own dreams and become a world's greatest while still living in poverty. I think this book also does an excellent job with the importance of family as well as role models. Not all of us have the same lives and the same relationships with our families like everyone else. But there can be other people out in the world who help us and care for us just like family. And Coach was definitely that character for Ghost! LOVED IT!!!
