Shattered

Shattered by Paul Langan

These book series are pretty good , I can read them nonstop because I love the drama . The story is basically about Darcy being in love with Hakeem but Hakeem was forced to move far away because of family issues . Darcy thought her and Hakeem were never gonna see each other again so she started messing with these jerk . Darcy happened to be alone one day with the jerk and something happened ! But wait for the twist of the story , Hakeem comes back and now how can Darcy tell Hakeem what happened that night ? I Like the book shattered because it's interesting and it also has a lot of drama scenes in there . This book is also meant for teens .

Shattered

I read the book Shattered by Paul Langan. Two more books he has written are A Matter of Trust and Blood is Thicker, these few books are part of the series he has written. This book and series is about young teenage kids who have family problems and either are in a gang or have troubles living life and go through many tough times in school and at home. As you go through this book you will see that being a teenage kid is difficult and you may not see it but the people you go to school with may have family problems and pretend like everything is fine.

               

In Shattered, a young girl named Darcy is having family problems at home and her ex-boyfriend Hakeem lives in a different state and she misses him a lot. Darcy is trying to stop her family from fighting every day and just become a happy family again like when her and her sister were young girls and would be happy all the time. Darcy is trying to keep her little sister away from all the fast boys and away from trouble and especially away from the streets. When Darcy finds out Hakeem is coming back in town she is happy and so is Hakeem. Darcy decides if she should tell Hakeem about her hanging out with another guy or if she shouldn’t tell him. How would Hakeem react if she tells him will he hate me forever or not care at all? Is Hakeem even excited to see me again?

               

I think this book was amazing and I loved it! There were a lot of hard obstacles that Darcy had to face and had a lot of trouble keeping her family together and dealing with Hakeem coming back to town. I think people should read this book because it grabs your attention really quick and it’s very interesting. If you love books that have drama scenes in it or romantic scenes in it then I suggest you to read this book along with the other Bluford High books but make sure you read the books in order so it makes sense. The book also makes you question yourself what will happen next and read the other books of this series. This book also tells you what goes on in the lives of these teenagers and what all happens and why they struggle so much in life. Paul Langan is a wonderful writer and I would be excited to read another one of his books.

Shattered

The title of the book I read is Shattered. The author of my book is Paul Langan; this is one of many books that he’s written from the Bluford series books. This book compares to other books he wrote because the main characters are always a teen or teenagers that are facing problems in high school. In this story a teenage girl named Darcy is facing problems in her life, things such as friends, family, school etc.

Darcy Wills is a teenage girl who is on summer break but school is just days away. Her boyfriend Hakeem is finally back in town.  When they’re around each other they both act awkwardly, they’re both hiding something. Darcy is also facing problems at home; her family’s relationship is rapidly going downhill and she doesn’t know what to do. Even her best friend is keeping secrets away from her. She is trying hard to keep her family together but as soon as she fixes a problem another on is created.

I would recommend other to read this book because the Bluford series books are good books to read. They include suspense, humor, and they also entertain you. These books are also short so that you won’t get bored or tired of reading it. There is many other Bluford book that you can continue on from if you’re interested in the first book you read.
