Friendship on Fire

Into its third episode, Platinum Teen Series presents Runaway. Readers are formally introduced to Kera. It's the summer time and although Kera is taking enrichment classes and working, she already knows that it's going to be scorching where her and her girls, Dymond and Porsha, are concerned. To add a little flavor to the mix, the tantalizing three have an additional friend, Solimar, a Latina that they've inducted into their clique. Is it a match made in heaven, or a curse? At any rate, Kera and Manny are in the thick of it. Although Manny and Kera are dating, Manny is still shopping his options with other chicks. But it's too late because he's already captured Kera's "puppy" love. Heartbroken as she catches Manny being dishonest, disloyal and disrespectful, can the sassy, confident Kera bounce back? Also invading the series is Shane Warrington, a questionable young man whose time in the park instantly erodes Kera's thoughts. With so much mystery surrounding Shane, Kera finds herself being a confidant, creeping around and eventually separating from her girls. Sandwiched between rumors, drama and judgment will she retreat to being a run-run-runaway? Ring the alarm Ms. Rhythm didn't raise a sucker, did she? Like the other books in the Platinum Teen Series, I appreciate the fact that Precious and Juwell are writing books that encompass teens.

Best Platinum Teen Serious Book Yet!

Runaway is a teen-friendly book about a girl named Kera who is in a relationship with her not so perfect boyfriend Manny. After the breakup she meets a nice boy named Shane. He is friendly, caring, fun to talk to, and even attractive. What more can a girl ask for. There is a catch though-he's homeless and a drug addict. Will she finally be done with Manny, or is Shane just a reboud? Why would she even want to be with a boy like Shane? Wouldn't it ruin her rep? Will Kera follow her heart even if it means being viewed by everyone including her cousins as a loser and desperate? I loved this book. It was fantastic and I expected it to be. With every book in the series it gets better. She just makes my expectations higher every time. This story is well thought out and even has some twist and turns. The ending is terrific and you will never suspect it. What a great book, I give it two thumbs up!
