Chocolate war ; read by Frank Muller. Talking book

Stunned by his mother's recent death and appalled by the way his father sleepwalks through life, Jerry Renault, a New England high school student, ponders the poster in his locker-Do I dare disturb the universe? Part of his universe is Archie Costello, leader of a secret school society-the Virgils-and master of intimidation. Archie himself is intimidated by a cool, ambitious teacher into having the Virgils spearhead the annual fund-raising event-a chocolate sale. When Jerry refuses to be bullied into selling chocolates, he becomes a hero, but his defiance is a threat to Archie, the Virgils, and the school. In the inevitable showdown, Archie's skill at intimidation turns Jerry from hero to outcast, to victim, leaving him alone and terribly vulnerable.

  • "A trendy, ambitious teacher deflects his school's intimidating secret society in to spearheading the annual fund-raising drive - a chocolate sale. To prove his individuality, freshman Jerry Renault refuses to be coerced into selling. His defiance provokes vengeance from the teacher, and from Archie Costello, the society's domineering captain."@en
  • "Jerry Renault is just a freshman the all-boys Trinity School, but from his first football tryout, he's tough enough to catch the attention of the Vigils, the most powerful clique at Trinity, and its leader Archie Costello. Jerry is a smart kid, who wants to make a difference, find his own way in the world. When the school's annual chocolate sale/fund-raiser is announced, he doesn't think his refusal to sell chocolates is going to be such a big deal, but it immediately divides the school. Some think Jerry's stand is heroic, but Archie thinks that Jerry needs to be taught a lesson. Needs to be broken. And Archie knows just how to do it. This classic novel gives a shocking look at the traditions of high school and the psychological warfare of bullying. And the unspoken complicity that adults provide in order to maintain appearances. This unflinching depiction of a boys' boarding school, The Chocolate War is considered by many to be the first true YA novel."@en
