false <![CDATA[I Am the Cheese]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170356988m/48974.jpg 48974 19 Imagine discovering that your whole life has been a fiction, your identity altered, and a new family history created. Suddenly nothing is as it once seemed; you can trust no one, maybe not even yourself. It is exactly this revelation that turns 14-year-old Adam Farmer's life upside down. As he tries to ascertain who he really is, Adam encounters a past, present, and future too horrible to contemplate. Suspense builds as the fragments of the story are assembled--a missing father, government corruption, espionage--until the shocking conclusion shatters the fragile mosaic. Young adult readers will easily relate to the shy and confused Adam, whose desperate searching for self resembles a disturbingly exaggerated version of the identity crisis common to the teenage years. First published in 1977, I Am the Cheese provides an exciting introduction to psychological thrillers. This sensitive, emotional, subtly crafted novel by Robert Cormier (author of The Chocolate War) was a New York Times Outstanding Book of the Year, as well as a School Library Journal Best Book of the Year. --Emilie Coulter 958210 1977 I Am the Cheese total:2337|5:19|4:33|3:31|2:19|1:2| 2337 8627 3012 322 5 3 false false Sat Apr 08 00:00:00 -0700 2006 Tue Mar 18 18:23:03 -0700 2008 Thu Nov 20 19:30:06 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 2 false false Thu Mar 13 19:32:59 -0700 2008 Thu Mar 13 20:07:41 -0700 2008 Robert Cormier
