Right now I have started a new book again, it is called Bluford High:Blood is Thicker, By. Paul Langan & D.M. Blackwell. So far what I have read is that the main character, Hakeem Randall and his family have to move to Detroit because they can no longer afford there house in California because they have to take care of their dads cancer. Hakeem is very sad about having to move because he doesn't want to leave his home, girlfriend (Darcy) and friends(Cooper and Tarah). He fells like that if he leaves them he will never see them again. Hakeem seems to me to be a very caring and sweet person and I think this because I the book it says “Hoping that the family would find a new apartment...I would even share a room with my little twin sisters” pg.3.
In the book I have read about Hakeem dad that has cancer, his mom, his little twin sisters, and his Uncle James, Aunt Lorraine, and Cousin Savon. Hakeem and his family are going to live with his Uncle and Aunt in Detroit. When they get there Savon is being really rude it Hakeem and Hakeem doesn't know why and I know this because in the book Savon says "Don't tell me you want me to feel sorry for you... You think I wanna share my room with you? Please!" then Hakeem says "Savon what's your prob..." pg.20
Also I have learned that Hakeem went to Bluford High and also I think that he is 16 years old because in the book it says that he hasn't seen his cousin since he was 6 and that was 10 years ago. In the book it doesn't really describe what Hakeem looks like but there's a picture on the cover that I think is him. On the cover it shows a Africa American wearing a white t-shirt with a black leather jacket over it. I think that his job will to help work with his uncle at the furniture store and I know this because it says."Well Hakeem and I will be glad to pitch in at the furniture store..."Yeah sure"Hakeem said pg.25

What does is say on page 25?
Why do you think he is 16 if he hasn't seen his cousing since he was 6? Do they say how many years have passed?
