[LM_NET] HIT Hi/Lo Bluford Series and YALSA Reluctant reader

[Janet Anderson <janetand@GMAIL.COM>]

*My question was:*

If I could quickly request your FAVORITE top 5 NEW (so many lists are so
dated) books that you would consider for Hi/Lo

Also, I have Orca and HIP, but KNOW that there is another Hi\Lo affordable
series about gangs and minorities...but I can't recall the publisher.  If
anyone else has a publisher or series recommendation I'll take those too!

*Reponses:*

That would be Townsend Press, Bluford series.  http://www.townsendpress.com/

The Bluford Series is kind of new (2004 and newer) and is about minorities
and gangs, etc.  It is fiction, so I am not sure that is the one you were
thinking of or not.   Very cheap ($1/paperback)

 *Do you look at YALSA's quick picks for reluctant readers?  Full of
things you mentioned.  (this was an awesome site and has been a wonderful
source!)
