About the Bluford Series: A Gateway to Reading The Bluford Series is a collection of 18 high-interest novels that have captivated teens nationwide. Set in Bluford High, a tough but nurturing inner city high school, the novels speakto the interests, struggles, and concerns of today’s 6th–10th graders. Praised by faculty, parents, and students alike, the Bluford Series is frequently chosen for school- and city-wide reading initiatives and has been repeatedly endorsed by the Journal for Adolescent and Adult Literacy (JAAL) and the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA). The three newest titles— Breaking Point , The Test , and Pretty Ugly —continue the compelling storylines that have sparked readers’ interest since the first novels were published in 2001. KEY FEATURES OF THE BLUFORD SERIES Accessible writing style: All Bluford novels are written to appeal to intermediate readers. While content in the series is sophisticated enough for high school students and beyond, the reading level for the novels is between 5th and 6th grade. Short length: Each novel in the Bluford Series contains between 125–200 pages. This relatively short length encourages even reluctant readers to finish the book. Many readers report to us that Bluford novels are the first books they’ ve ever completed. And once they finish one book, most students want to continue—an important step toward becoming regular readers! Relevant topics: Topics, themes, and situations in the Bluford Series were chosen to engage students’ real-life experiences. By having direct relevance to students’ lives, the books keep readers’ interest and help them make meaningful connections with text. Connected stories: Each novel shares the common setting of Bluford High School. Many characters and conflicts carry over from book to book, adding layers to each story. As a result, readers are drawn into a complex and engaging world—one they want to explore. Broad appeal: Action, suspense, mystery, and romance fill the pages of the Bluford Series, offering something for all readers, boys and girls alike. Someone to Love Me (Anne Schraff) (0944210066) "What's that?" her mother asked, pointing to the bruise on Cindy's wrist. "Nothing," Cindy answered quickly. "I bumped myself when I was getting something out of the closet." Cindy moved her arm as she spoke so her mother would not stare at the bruise. There was no way she was going to tell her mother what Bobby did. At first, Bobby Wallace was everything Cindy Gibson hoped for.
