i hate it when i finish a bluford book...because i love these books. the bluford high series is slow writing new books. i don't buy these books for children. i am 47 years old and i buy these books for me every time a new book comes out in the series. in first time i read a book in the series i was in college and loved every moment of the book. i am still in college and hate when i finish the book because it maybe a year or two before a new book is published. also, you don't have to start with the first book in the series in order to understand the characters because the authors give you background information as the characters appears in the book. however, if you read the first book you get to know the characters personally or it appears this way. but, if you read one book you will buy the series in order to read about these children's lives.
Perfect for urban teens. I have students who have read the entire series in a month and are doing author searches for more by the same writer. Buford High is a great place to look at life and deal with teen issues.
Tyray Hobbs is nothing but trouble. He's a bully. But when his latest target, new student Darrell, gets his fill and stands up to Tyray, breaking Tyray's wrist in front of everyone in the school cafeteria, things really get out of control. Tyray buys a gun and waits for Darrell one night. When the time comes, Tyray can't kill Darrell and turns the gun on himself. Darrell stops Tyray from killing himself by knocking the gun away. Now Tyray has to deal with the fallout. He is a joke at school. His parents have grounded him for life, and his dad doesn't mind throwing a punch or slap in Tyray's direction. The only thing standing between Tyray and prison is the fact that Darrell hasn't told anyone what really happened that terrible night. Will Tyray be able to overcome his past and build a new life? Will he keep wishing Darrell had not knocked the gun away that night? Can he and his parents ever have a real conversation? Tyray's life isn't easy, but its the only one he has, and it is up to him to make the most of it. New in the Bluford High series, and follows The Gun, sequel to The Bully.

As a 13 year old girl most of the books for teens ate not age appropriate for me. And when I read this book I FELL IN LOVE WITH IT!!!!! I would recommend this book for teens who love suspense and and thrills. It is defiantly appropriate for all ages and is very enjoyable

Promises to Keep is a good book to learn from and relate too. I rated this book a three because , though I learned something ; there wasnt a whole lesson . All Bluford series I can relate to , and they're all good!
It gets more and more good as you go through the book and it is a book that makes you curious what will happen next and makes you want to keep reading. I recommend this book for ages 9 and older
These are one of the most interesting books i ever read... Throughout the whole series. These books are very realistic and action-packed.. I LOVE THEM!!!!!!!
