You wouldn't think that his refusal to sell chocolates during his school's fundraiser would create such a stir, but it does; it's as if the whole school comes apart at the seams. To some, Jerry is a hero, but to others, he becomes a scapegoat--a target for their pent-up hatred. And Jerry? He's just trying to stand up for what he believes, but perhaps there is no way for him to escape becoming a pawn in this game of control; students are pitted against other students, fighting for honor--or are they fighting for their lives? In 1974, author Robert Cormier dared to disturb our universe when this book was first published. And now, with a new introduction by the celebrated author, <I>The Chocolate War</I> stands ready to shock a new group of teen readers. 1122617 1974 The Chocolate War total:4858|5:867|4:1629|3:1526|2:563|1:273| 4858 16828 6386 516 5 9 false false Mon Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Wed Oct 17 11:52:15 -0700 2007 Wed Oct 31 14:43:27 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 5 false false Wed Jan 07 16:09:31 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 22 16:02:31 -0800 2009 more...]]> 1 7 false false Thu Nov 13 09:13:05 -0800 2008 Thu Nov 13 09:20:43 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 4 false false Sun Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Mar 11 06:36:50 -0700 2009 Thu Mar 12 06:00:34 -0700 2009
