3.5 out of 5 stars
Jerry, a high school
freshman, challenges a secret school club by refusing to sell chocolates - the
school fundraiser. Not too exciting of a
premise you think, but this defiant act starts an all-out war at the school. We believe deep down that there is good in
people, and that people are generally not driven by cruelty and greed. This is the true premise of this banned young
adult novel. Very well written this banned novel shows why people should NOT
bully, torment and be cruel to others versus the opposite as the supporters of
banned books believe. I feel this book
would be an excellent novel to be taught and analyzed in high schools.
