The Bluford Series is a collection of 18 contemporary novels that have captivated teens throughout the US. The books are set in fictional Bluford High, a tough but nurturing inner-city high school in Los Angeles. Written to engage reluctant teen readers, the novels speak to the interests, struggles, and concerns of today's 6th-10th graders. A popular choice for school- and city-wide reading initiatives, the Bluford Series has been endorsed by the Journal of Adolescent and Adult Literacy (JAAL) and the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA). The three newest titles -- Breaking Point, The Test, and Pretty Ugly -- were added in late 2010 and continue storylines that have sparked readers' interest since the first novels were published in 2001. More titles are forthcoming. As of 2011, over 8 million Bluford novels were in print. Get updates about the Bluford Series on Facebook or read reviews of the book on Goodreads.
