I don't know if anybody have ever heard of this series but I just found out about them when I found them laying around my house. My 16 year old sister like my mom and older sister are big fans of street novels. But this book called out to me not only because it was small in size and pocket sized but also because of the cover. The covers resemble street novels in a way but something seemed different about it. So I decided to read it. I finished in a day. Bluford Series are novels written for intermediate and advanced high school readers. These novels features issues that occur in urban neighborhoods such as drugs, abandonment, and teen sex but it is not as explicitly told as done in street fiction.
Books by Walter Dean Myers, The Bluford Series by Paul Langan and The Hotlanta Series by Denene Millner are novels that are written by African American for young black teens going through the same issues. These are all written and published professionally so you can bet that you will not find any grammatical errors in these novels.
VERDICT: NOT ONLY ARE THESE BOOKS APPROPRIATE FOR TEENAGE READING BUT I CAN GUARANTEE YOU THAT ALMOST EVERY TEEN CAN FIND A BOOK THAT THEY CAN RELATE TO PERSONALLY.
