Description

After suffering rejection from seven major publishers, The Chocolate War made its debut in 1974, and quickly became a bestselling—and provocative—classic for young adults.

This chilling portrait of an all-boys prep school casts an unflinching eye on the pitfalls of conformity and corruption in our most elite cultural institutions.

“Compellingly immediate. . . . Readers will respect the uncompromising ending.”—Kirkus Reviews, starred review
