Will has left his troubled teen years behind. He's stayed out of trouble. Traveled. Worked odd jobs. Matured. Now he's coming home. No one could be more thrilled than his mother, Nia. But old family secrets keep them apart. And one shattering event may destroy their relationship for good and ruin everyone's shot at happiness. This three-book series keeps the tension tight and the interest high. Titles Coming Home, Searching for Answers, and The Truth.
In my opinion the book could have been more detailed or understanding because it start off with Nia finding Karyn on the floor at the end of down stairs which cause a miss cartridge earlier in the book then hops to another event which is Will following a 'silver car' that I guess took the life of Will's father. Then another event which in my opinion doesn't really contributes to the main story that Gail wanted to be with Jada (Grand daughter) but Carl wanted to be with Jada to live to a different home?
Great for a reluctant teen reader. Although sometimes, it seems too toned down for a teen reader. Fast-paced urban fiction with enough intrigue to keep the reader wanting more.
The "Coming Home" series is a high interest/low vocab trilogy that manages to combine tension and a mystery with a family drama in very few words. Each book is less than 65 pages and the illustrations and layout are attractive, specially for reluctant readers. This is a series I will be introducing next September to the intermediates in my school library. It is an attractive option for my reluctant readers who shy away from thicker tomes but are tired of having limited options for their combined age and lower reading level.
