"THE CHOCOLATE WAR BY ROBERT CORMIER, NARRATED BY GEORGE GUIDALL" "With the fellows standing all around him and his breath coming in gaps and Goober arriving with the ball, Jerry knew a moment of absolute happiness... The guys lined up again. Jerry was sweet poetry and music as he waited for the ball to be slapped into his hand. When he returned to the school after practice, he found a letter scotch-taped to the door of his locker. A summons from The Vigils. Subject: Assignment."---from The Chocolate War "Jerry Renault was just starting to surface on a bad year. After his Mom died of cancer, he assumed things would never feel right again. And when he thought of his father's increasing apathy and his teachers' intentional cruelty, it seemed to Jerry that everywhere people were bending to the presures, afraid to take a stand. So when The Vigils, a gang of bullies, scotch-taped a summons letter to the front door of his locker, Jerry decided he would be the first to defy a long, mindless tradition. Ostracized, degraded, threatened on all sides, Jerry faces the greatest challenge of his life. "vicious and violent mob cruelty in a boys' prep school is not a new theme but Cormier makes it compellingly immediate... Readers will respect the uncompromising ending..."---Kirkus Reviews [from back of case]
