I can do that — but page numbers differ by edition (hardcover, paperback, Kindle) so I don’t want to give incorrect citations. Which edition/format are you using (publisher, year, or “hardcover/paperback/Kindle”)? Or would you prefer chapter references instead of page numbers?
Meanwhile, here’s a brief, non‑verbatim summary of Ghost’s relationships through chapter 1–4 (no page numbers):
- His mother: Protective and hardworking; she’s a primary caregiver who Ghost both relies on and sometimes clashes with as he deals with his feelings and fear.
- His father: Absent and a source of trauma/anger for Ghost (the history of violence/abandonment shapes how Ghost reacts and why he sometimes acts out).
- Peers at school/playground: Ghost has tense/conflictual interactions with some kids (he lashes out and gets in trouble), which helps explain his nickname and reputation.
- Coach (Brody, the track coach): Introduced as a new, adult figure who sees potential in Ghost and begins to offer structure and encouragement — the start of a more positive adult relationship.
- Teammates/new friends (early contact): Ghost begins meeting other kids connected to the track team; those connections are tentative but open the possibility of friendship and belonging.
If you tell me your edition, I’ll add exact page numbers for each point and can include brief quoted lines (under 90 characters) if you want direct textual evidence.
