good book

this book is about the missunderstood rolin baily.this book is good cause it takes you in the eyes of the kid no one really likes cause he is mean. but all he is a misunderstood tourched soul.

Right Book for the Right Student

It's so hard for kids to get books they like sometimes. This series is greatly needed for students who need to feel a connection with a book and reading. I gave this book to a student in my homeroom and he was thrilled. He generally hates reading books, he loves these.

Deceit and Lies!

This book was kinda like a mystery book at some parts. Roylin became friends with a new girl that went to Bluford High. He became to like the girl so much, that he sacrafiest stealing from his only friend just to satify a girl he's only known for about a week. He's has no one to turn to for help when he discoveres that his best friend may be dead because of a stupid mistake on his part. When people try to warn him about this new girl, he thinks they're jealous. Then, he finally comes to his senses when he finds out that the girl he thought he loved (and loved him back) was using him for the money she THOUGHT he had. The resolution of this book is you get hurt most by the people you think you can trust than the people you don't. So my advice is to be care of the people you call "Your Friends"!

When you think your the best of friends

This book is about a boy named Roylined who is living a nightmare and it's all his fault . It started when the new student , named Korie and the most beautiful girl in his school was interested in him. Unlike most people at Bluford High, she seemed to like him. But when Roylin tried to impress her, he made a terrible mistake. Now one of his friends is gone , and someone is out to destroy him. Cought in a tightening web of lies and threats, Roylin is desperate for a way out.

Read this Book!!!

Secrets in the Shadows When I first started reading the Bluford Series I could not stop .Once I finished one book I'd go onto another. I really love these books because it talks about conflicts and situations with teen, adults, families, and friends and how they overcome it or help someone overcome it. But this book in particular, I really liked. It discussed the living conditions of Roylin Bailey, how he felt and acted in school, a relationship, his anger, and wanting real, trusting friends. Overall, I really enjoyed reading this book, this book was great!
