Bluford High #2: A Matter of Trust | 
The second book from The Bluford High series that stole my heart. Before writing about Diamond and Marc (My favorite couple I created), Darcy and Hakeem gave me hope. I could relate to them both at some point and still am inspired to create young black characters as well as POC who deal with day to day situations. Definitely has been added to my Recommended Reading List.
quirkyreader I love this series. When I worked in Indianapolis schools we had multiple copies of this series for the kids, and they were way into it. 5y
