A Kid's Review
This review is from: Until We Meet Again (Bluford High Series #7) (Paperback)
Until We Meet Again Until we meet again is about a girl named Darcy who goes to Bluford
High School and has amazing friends, and a boyfriend named Hakeem.
She lives with her mom, dad, grandmother, and her little sister.Hakeem's
dad is having problems with his back because he works with constuction
and he's an old man.So Hakeem's uncle says that he can have a job with him in Detroit. Now Hakeem may have to move.So he goes to school and
tells Darcy the bad news, she can't take the pain and forces him to live with his best friend, but he couldn't because family is more importanat. So he yells"THERES NOTHING I CAN DO" and so she starts to feel vulnerable,
tears start to come to her chocolate brown eyes.She gets this offer later to baby-sit and she took it because she thought it would keep Hakeem off her mind for a few days.Hakeem hasen't been answering his phone when Darcy tried to call.Then later in school she saw Hakeem and strolled over to him "hi Hakeem" she said but he didn't answer her "Hakeem" she said he turns around and looked at her and said "look i need to be alone I have alot on my mind". Darcy feels crushed and even further apart from Hakeem.
As Darcy starts to baby-sit Liselle's daughter she see's Brian, Liselle's younger brother and kinda likes him.When Darcy went back to school Hakeem came over to her table and said they need to talk after school.When the bell ranged at the last class Darcy sprinted straight to the parking lot and Hakeem said "Darcy we need to talk I don't think we shoulld see eachother anymore because I can't take the pain of caring for you and my dad so I think we need to take it slow and not see each other im sorry." so Darcy gets mad and starts crying and runs off.and gets a ride home from Brian. Later Brian asked Darcy did she want to go to the beach and he will bring her back home at 5:00 so yeah she went and he was saying how beautiful she was and she better around him.On the wednesday of the summer Darcy was at home with her sister Jamee and Jamee noticed the necklace that Brian gave her and said oooooh who gave you that Darcy said Brian.Then the doorbell ranged and it was Brian and he wanted to take Darcy to the park and she went. After the park he took her to the apartment and got dressed for work and when he was done he told Dacry he had a good time and kissed her.When she got home she heard a siren and when she got to the last step of her house the ambulance stopped at her house and said did you call an ambulance and Jamee said in here she wont wake up...Darcy's grandmother was ok in the hospital so she felt good then Brian called and asked did she want pizza she said yea she went to the apartment and the lights were dimmed. Then later he started kissing her pulling up her shirt she moved his hand "just relax" he said he started kissing her again and pulling up her shirt "STOP" she yelled he gripped her arms and she smacked him then he gripped her tight and she couldn't get out.Then Darcy's dad came and brought her food DADDY Darcy yelled he kicked the door open and started choking Brian and pushed him on the floor and him and darcy left. Liselle asked Darcy can she baby-sit but darcy said no. Later Darcy went in grandmas room and talked to her about how felt and cared for everyone and then Darcy's mom came in and hugged her and Darcy went to sleep in the morning mom called out "Carl, Girls". and grandma was laying in her bed smiling and her eyes were closed shut she was in a better place for good Darcy started to cry and the family hugged grandma and the birds sanged. At the funeral darcy got up and said what was on her mind and she saw Tarah, Cooper, and Brisanna. And she was happy to see them then when the funeral was over Darcy saw H akeem and hugged him and held his hand and walked down the sidewalk together and felt the start of a new familiar relationship.

The Book Review of: Until We Meet Again
Title: Until We Meet Again
By: Anne E. Schraff
I fell in love the first time I read Bluford series book and this was just another I wanted to read.
Summary: Darcy Wills is an average girl who goes to Bluford High School. Darcy is really book smart, but had a few personal issues. Darcy had a lot on her shoulders to deal with. Her grandma being sick, her dad leaving them: and her boyfriend moving to another state because his dad has cancer. How will Darcy's life change will it go for better and worse, will she find another guy. You'll just have to wait and read this book to see all the directions Darcy's life takes the good, bad, and ugly.
I think people of all ages would like this book especially older kids to teenagers and particularly teenage girls.
Setting: Darcy goes to Bluford High School and has personal issues. Darcy is African American with long hair and she's kind of shy. Where Darcy lives is sort of old and not so suburban. You an really relate to her relationship life. This story is narrated.
Ups: This book is so good because you can actually feel the emotions she experience. Like when she meets this new guy and starts to like him. Once you start you can't stop, this book is so good that once you start reading it you can't stop because its so good.
Downs: I wanted more to happen at the end but its okay because they had a sequel. I was upset that the book didn't continue but they picked it up with a sequence.
This book was liked because it was really good and I could relate really relate to it. I really recommend this book because I think you could relate also.

Until We Meet Again started my Niece to love reading, May 18, 2004
She said I can't put it down. I sneak and read in class with my book inside of a larger book. She opted to read instead of watching TV or surfing the Web! She felt the book was talking about her life, too. Thanks, now she's opened the door a crack to loving reading and how rewarding it can be!!!
