About the Book

The Chocolate War New boy Jerry renault refuses to sell chocolates for Trinity School's annual fundraiser. This small act of defiance starts a chain reaction, exposing the corruption running through the school and starting an all-out war with the Vigils, the school's secret society. There is only one solution - but who will survive? Beyond The Chocolate War In the terrifying aftermath of the Chocolate War, the Vigils are now more powerful than ever. But the cruelty of their leader, Archie, has made him enemies and now they seek their revenge.

Tenderness, for example, depicts the relationship between a teenage runaway and a juvenile serial killer. In Heroes, a teenage war hero and victim returns to confront the idolized youth leader who betrayed him. One of Robert's favourite books is Catcher in the Rye by J.D.

Review :
The Chocolate War is uncompromising and unsentimental. It is doubtful, and finally irrelevant, whether Mr Cormier was writing for adolescents or for adults, any more than William Golding was concerned with a specific audience as he wrote Lord of the Flies, with which this novel stands comparison TES Getting inside the souls of adolescents seems to be Cormier's particular gift Publishing Weekly
