Reviews

[Janice]

By the author of some books in the Bluford High series which is a series of hi/lo fiction featuring urban teens. This series is called Passages to Suspense and is also hi/lo featuring urban teens. It doesn't focus on relationships as much as the Bluford series although there are relationship issues the characters are dealing with. This book was more of a suspense/mystery genre with a sprinkling of relationship issues. I think this series could be a good option for those readers who are interested in or are finished with all of the Bluford books. The answer to the mystery could be a good hook to keep them reading.
