The Urban Underground series is about a group of teens attending Tubman High. The high school years are important to our intellectual and emotional development. Teens are faced with many obstacles, both imagined and real. Finding stories that speak ot their struggles can help guide them and build the foundation for the future. The teen experience at Tubman is typical as students deal with trust, loyalty, friendship, unemployment, urban decay, drugs, dropouts, bullies, alcoholism, abuse, and self-esteem to name a few. The highly readable style and mature topics will appeal to young adult readers of both sexes and encourage them to finish each novel.
