Correr é algo que Fantasma sempre soube fazer, mas nunca levou muito a sério. Afinal, seu maior sonho era ser jogador de basquete e, quem sabe, entrar para o livro dos recordes. Até que, certo dia, ele disputa uma corrida contra um dos melhores atletas de uma equipe que está treinando na pista de atletismo do parque. E vence. O técnico percebe que o garoto tem talento de sobra e quer que ele entre para sua equipe de qualquer jeito. O problema é que Fantasma também tem muita raiva e um passado que tenta desesperadamente deixar para trás.

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.

Twenty-four months ago: Neon gets chased by a dog all around the parking lot of a church. Not his finest moment. And definitely one he would have loved to forget if it weren’t for the dog’s owner: Aria. Dressed in sweats, a t-shirt, hair in a ponytail. Aria. Way more than fine. Twenty-four weeks ago: Neon’s dad insists on talking to him about tenderness and intimacy. Neon and Aria are definitely in love, and while they haven’t taken that next big step…yet, they’ve starting talking about…that.

You are INVITED. To a most marvelous party. For a most marvelous man. A man who turned the alphabet into THUMP A BUMP. Who turned words into JAZZ into RIVERS into BUSTIN' A MOVE. All of his word-children will be there, uh-huh. Because it’s a party for LANGSTON. Langston Hughes. King o’ Letters. Renaissance Man. So don’t be shy. Come on in. To the Hoopla in Harlem. EVERYONE is welcome.

Most kids of color grow up talking about racism. They have “The Talk” with their families - the honest talk about survival in a racist world. But White kids don’t. They’re barely spoken to about race at all - and that needs to change. Because not talking about racism doesn’t make it go away. Not talking about White privilege doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. The Other Talk begins this much-needed conversation for White kids.

In zehn eindringlichen Geschichten erzählt Jugendbuch-Star Jason Reynolds von den Abenteuern und Herausforderungen, die der Weg von der Schule nach Hause zu bieten hat. Was passiert da, worum kreisen die Gespräche, was für Freuden und Ängste werden gewälzt? Voller Sympathie und Wärme wird von Freundschaft und Einsamkeit, von Schule und Lehrern, von Sorgen und Interessen junger Schüler erzählt - und von den Wundern, die sich auf dem Weg von der Schule nach Hause entfalten können, wenn man nur genau genug hinsieht.

Jason Reynolds gelingt das Meisterwerk, Dr. Ibram X. Kendis preisgekröntes Sachbuch "Stamped from the Beginning" in eine leichte, für Jugendliche zugängliche Sprache zu übertragen, dabei aber nicht an Tiefe einzubüßen. Tyron Ricketts liest "Stamped", als würde ein Freund die Geschichte des Rassismus in Amerika erzählen.

Im Team die Welt verbessern! Lu ist Albino und Vizekapitän seiner Lauf-Mannschaft. In jedem Fall ist er ein Gewinner und glänzt auf der Aschenbahn, durch Selbstbewusstsein, coole Sprüche und Talent, aber auch durch Schmuck und die neueste Kleidung. Lu glaubt fest, dass er Ghost, Sunny, Patina und dem Team zum Sieg in der Meisterschaft verhelfen kann. Aber so einfach ist es dann doch nicht. Plötzlich sind da Hindernisse auf Lus Bahn - und nicht nur wortwörtliche. Seine Familie fordert ihn ebenso wie die Mannschaft.

Sunny is just that - sunny. Always ready with a goofy smile and something nice to say, Sunny is the chillest dude on the Defenders team. But his life hasn't always been sun beamy-bright. You see, Sunny is a murderer. Or at least he thinks of himself that way. His mother died giving birth to him, and based on how Sunny's dad treats him - ignoring him, making Sunny call him Darryl, never 'Dad' - it's no wonder Sunny thinks he's to blame. It seems the only thing Sunny can do right in his dad's eyes is win first place ribbons running the mile, just like his mom did.

This story was going to begin like all the best stories. With a school bus falling from the sky. But no one saw it happen. They were all too busy - Jason Reynolds conjures 10 tales (one per block) about what happens after the dismissal bell rings and brilliantly weaves them into one wickedly funny, piercingly poignant look at the detours we face on the walk home, and in life. 

Lu was born to be cocaptain of the Defenders. Well, actually, he was born albino, but that's got nothing to do with being a track star. Lu has swagger, plus the talent to back it up, and with all that - not to mention the gold chains and diamond earrings - no one's gonna outshine him. Lu knows he can lead Ghost, Patina, Sunny, and the team to victory at the championships, but it might not be as easy as it seems. Suddenly, there are hurdles in Lu's way - literally and not-so-literally - and Lu needs to figure out, fast, what winning the gold really means.  

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. 

Die große Kraft des Sports Sunny findet Gewinnen und Rennen unfassbar langweilig. Er will tanzen! Er liebt Rhythmus, Klänge und Moves. Doch seine Mutter, die bei seiner Geburt starb, hatte einen Traum vom Marathonlaufen, und Sunnys Vater hat sich in den Kopf gesetzt, dass Sunny diesen nun erfüllen muss. Wenn er das Langstreckenlaufen wirklich aufgeben will, muss Sunny sich nicht nur gegen ihn durchsetzen, sondern sich auch Mannschaft und Freunden erklären.

From National Book Award finalist and New York Times best-selling author Jason Reynolds comes a genre-defying new novel that serves as an homage to sharing the stories we all hold within ourselves. 

Konkurrenz und Teamgeist Patina rennt wie ein Blitz. Sie rennt für ihre Ma, die im Rollstuhl sitzt, sie rennt für ihre kleine Schwester Maddy, und sie rennt, um endlich all die Verantwortung, die auf ihr lastet, abschütteln zu können. Beim Rennen ist Patty nur noch Rhythmus und Geschwindigkeit.

Roh und poetisch... Rennen, das kann Ghost, das muss man doch nicht lernen. Als er auf einem Sportplatz einen Sprinter herausfordert, der dort mit seinem Team trainiert, ändert sich sein Leben mit einem Schlag. Der Trainer erkennt sein Naturtalent und nimmt ihn ins Team. Allerdings ist Ghost nicht nur ein herausragender Läufer, er hat auch jede Menge Probleme am Hals.

A bag of chips. That's all 16-year-old Rashad is looking for at the corner bodega. What he finds instead is a fist-happy cop, Paul Galluzzo, who mistakes Rashad for a shoplifter, mistakes Rashad's pleadings that he's stolen nothing for belligerence, mistakes Rashad's resistance to leave the bodega as resisting arrest, mistakes Rashad's every flinch at every punch the cop throws as further resistance and refusal to STAY STILL as ordered.
