Today’s Featured Book of Color is A Matter of Trust by Anne Schraff. Part of the Bluford High series, A Matter of Trust follows Darcy Wills who is trying to deal with changing friends, a new boyfriend, school, and jealousy. Darcy used to be best friends with Brisana Meeks, but now that they are at Bluford High they are bitter enemies because Darcy befriended the “zeros.”
Darcy tries to ignore the constant teasing from Brisana and tries to enjoy her new friends and boyfriend, Hakeem. But when she learns that Brisana has her eyes on her man, this would be the biggest betrayal yet. Darcy knows she needs to do something to put a stop to it, but she just doesn’t know what that should be.
