Reviews
Library Media Connection
“These high-interest low-level books provide intriguing storylines packed into a relatively short novel….This series should attract an array of readers seeking an edgier teenage drama.”―Library Media Connection
VOYA
“Because of Jones’s extensive experience working in juvenile detention centers and with teens at many alternative centers, these books are quite realistic and make an excellent bridge for lower level readers and fans of the popular Bluford High and Urban Underground series who are looking for more of a challenge.” —VOYA
