"Summer of secrets"

By: Ruth

My book was called the summer of secrets and the main character was Darcy and she having a lot of problems at this point in her life. Her mother and father are fighting everyday and every night and she worried that they might get a divorce again and she dose not want that to happen. Why because her father was the one who saved her from bobby {a guy she met right after her boy friend moved away to Detroit}. She went over to his house thinking that they were just going to talk but he tried to rap her but as she was fighting back her father came at a nick of time and saved her. After that she never trusted another guy. Then as she is working she sees her friend Brisanna with a guy. It was her boyfriend and Darcy find out that he is cheating on her with another girl. Darcy tried to tell her but she did not want to believe her so she left it at that. Darcy goes and meets with her current friend tray and copper. Tray tells her that she is having a cook out on the 4th of July and she should come and plus she had a cousin of her that is coming and they could talk and get to know one another. Darcy doesn't want to meet her cousin because she dose not trust any guys at all at this point. Tray also told her that jamee had a new boyfriend copper brother; she wasn't all that worried because it was coppers brother but she was still going to keep an eye on them. Copper tell them that brisanna's boyfriend is giving him trouble at the garage, tell his father that I stole 20 dollars and he spilled the oil all over the garage and all of it is coming out of his pay check. On the 4th of July every body went down to the park when Darcy got there she saw tray with a very tall guy and it was her cousin she felt very uncomfortable with him there but she managed herself. When Copper got to the park he saw brisanna with her boyfriend and he sprinted after him and they started to fight. Darcy tried to stop the fight but trays cousins pulled her by her hip and she got scared and kicked him. Everybody went back home mad. Brisanna calls Darcy and tell her she might be pregnant, but then find out her not and everything is fine and she broke up with her boyfriend. Then she finally talk to her mom and dad and they say that their having a baby. Now all he r problems are gone and Darcy first boyfriend Hakeem so coming back from Detroit and everybody is happily ever after.

This book is very realistic and it taught me how life is and why you should always do the right thing. The consequences of wrong actions.

This review is from: Summer of Secrets (Bluford High Series #10) (Bk. 10) (Mass Market Paperback)

Summer of secrets by Paul Langan. The book is about a girl named Darcy. She lives with her mother, father, sister, and her grandmother. Darcy's grandmother had passed away after she just felt lonely. Darcy's life was not that happy in her house because her parents were always arguing with each other all the time, Darcy was not happy because she thought her parents might get separated and she was afraid of that happen. One of Darcy friends were Brisana. Brisana thought that she was pregnant, she was afraid to tell her parents about it. Brisana wanted to go and see a doctor about is, at the end it was negative. I would rate this book a 5 or above because it was really inserting, and with a ending that was happy.
