The Bluford series are some of the best things going for struggling high school readers. Not only do they engage the students, but they are published by a company (Townsend Press) that really cares about student reading! They make the following offer on their website:
If you are a student with limited funds who believes that reading books is one of the best ways to learn and grow, write us a note (not an e-mail) telling us a little about yourself and including your home address. Also, look through our list of Townsend Library and Bluford Books and tell us which three books you would like to receive at no charge. Send your note to:

Book Editor
Townsend Press
1038 Industrial Drive
West Berlin, NJ 08091

Please note that this one-time offer is NOT FOR ENTIRE CLASSES OR SCHOOLS (too costly!) but for individual students who believe that reading can help them prepare for success in school and life.
