The Chocolate War (Paperback, 30th Anniversary ed.)

One of the most controversial YA novels of all time, "The Chocolate War"is amodern masterpiece that speaks to fans of S. E. Hinton's "The Outsiders" and John Knowles's "A Separate Peace."
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.
