A popular choice for school- and city-wide reading initiatives, the series has been widely reviewed in the Journal of Adolescent and Adult Literacy (JAAL) and praised in School Library Journal and Kirkus Reviews. In addition, numerous Bluford novels have been selected as Quick Picks and Popular Paperbacks by the American Library Association (ALA).
