you will love this book
A Matter of Trust was written by Anne Schraff it is a part of the Bluford High Series. This was a great book and it has encouraged me to start reading the other Bluford High books. This is the only one that I have read and I was really impressed by this book. I never really thought that these were good books but, they had some interesting titles. This book was taking place in a normal neighborhood, which is a convenience store, parks, apartment buildings, and a high school that is called Bluford High School. But I never got a chance to read even one of the books in the Bluford High series because I never asked people about these books. This was my first big mistake about my choices in reading, that I will never make again with any series.
The main characters in this book were Darcy, her sister Jamee, their parents, Roylin, her friends Tarah, Cooper, and Brisana, and her boyfriend Hakeem. Roylin was always teasing Darcy's boyfriend Hakeem and being a jerk. Tarah and Cooper were dating and they were really great friends to Darcy. Hakeem was her boyfriend, that was being very comforting to her and he encouraged her to sing at the talent show which she did but ended up not winning. Hakeem won and was really good when he was performing on stage; his performance was singing and playing the guitar.
The climax of this story was when Brisana was trying to steal Darcy's boyfriend, making Brisana the antagonist. So Darcy was the protagonist because she was the main character or the good guy during the whole story. The reason why Brisana was trying to steal Darcy's boyfriend is because they weren't friends anymore. They weren't friends because Darcy started hanging out with Tarah and Cooper, Brisana didn't like that at all. In the story Brisana says that Darcy and her always said that they would never ever hang out with people like Tarah and Cooper. So when Darcy started hanging out with Tarah and Cooper even more than with Brisana, she got angry. So because of that Brisana started seeking revenge which was trying to steal Darcy's boyfriend Hakeem, which she knew would make Darcy feel miserable; like she felt miserable when she started hanging out with Tarah Cooper.
This was a good book because the events that happened throughout the book were all exciting events. The author puts in several events that all teach the characters life lessons. For example, when Hakeem won the Talent Show, got rid of his stuttering problem. Another event that gave a life story is this whole event. So at the day of a party at the park Tarah friends boyfriend Hakeem was about to get in a fight with Roylin because he was teasing him about his stuttering. So Hakeem was chasing him into the parking lot at the park. Then, out of nowhere a car started speeding by with people shooting out of the car. So Roylin was a vulnerable target and because of that Roylin got shot in the head. From this incident Roylin learned that he should never be a bad person to anyone again. Teens can learn a lot about life from this novel.
So overall this was a really great book that I think that everyone should it least try to read it. I am starting on my second Bluford High book and it seems like it also going to be a really great addition to my Bluford High Series background. The book that I am starting to read is called No Way Out by Peggy Kern. The book jumped out at me with the title just like the other book that I read from the Bluford High Series. These are all going
