This is a horrifying story about a boy's school where there is literally a chocolate war.
A secret society of boys, which the administration has always turned their back on, takes over a school chocolate sale.
The boys are all asked to sell fifty boxes at two dollars apiece instead of the normal twenty-five at a dollar. And the
leader of the secret society is one of the students who is pushing the sale. And he tells one student to refuse to sell the
chocolate for ten days, but on the eleventh he is to take them. And he doesn’t.
This book is interesting, and has a lot of twists and turns. I can see why a lot of schools use this book to teach with.
There are a lot of moral lessons and many things that can be learned. I enjoyed reading this, and would recommend it
to anyone who has ever had bully problems.
