Jason Reynolds

Jason Reynolds is the author of young adult novels including Ghost,[1] a National Book Award Finalist for Young People's Literature.[2] Reviewing Ghost in The New York Times, Kate Messner said that in his title character, Reynolds has created a protagonist "whose journey is so genuine that he’s worthy of a place alongside Ramona and Joey Pigza on the bookshelves where our most beloved, imperfect characters live."[3] Ghost was published by the Caitlyn Dlouhy imprint of Atheneum on August 30, 2016.[4] A sequel is expected in 2017.[2]

Reynolds is also the author of As Brave As You,[5] which won the 2016 Kirkus Prize, [6] and of Miles Morales: Spider-Man (2017).[7][8]
