Bluford Series 20-Book Boxed Set (Books 1-20)

Got my book set in today. Love the series. If they had a 10 star scale. I would do 10/10.

I read this series in middle school now that my daughter is in the 8th grade she can’t put the books down perfect distraction from phones and TV and her perspective is interesting definitely a bonding moment for us highly recommend

I found out about these books when my former students wrote me a letter telling me about how they could not put these books down. I wish I would have known about this series when I taught reluctant inner city readers. There are a lot of themes and issues that my students personally dealt with. I know they would love eaten these up! My students had a very hard time relating to stereotypical white characters that were nothing like themselves, I love how these books represent a lot of real things kids deal with and the characters themselves represented African American kids- which many young adult books don't. It is very relatable. I related to Darcy when she starts meeting with her dad for the first time. I, myself, had the awkward experience of being a teen rebuilding a relationship with a formerly absentee dad and it was described spot-on. The writing is a little cheesy- but young adult often is.

Packaged nicely opened now I can’t put book down😊

loved and enjoyed the series as a child growing up so I was very excited to purchase them and be able to reread them they are very good quality books and I'm excited

I used to read these books back in the day and to have all of them at once made me cry. I love them still

Great books for YA readers. Not explicit

At Christmas, I sponsored a homeless 18-24 yr. old youth, and this was a book set she wanted. It meant a lot to her, and she was very grateful. If you serve and like to help others, someone in a ministry like the Covenant House or anywhere that allows teens and young adults for the long term, this is a great gift to donate. God Bless!
