The Wave is based on a nightmarish true episode in a Californian high school, when a teacher wanted to demonstrate the dangers of propoganda and group-think.
Laurie isn't sure what to make of 'The Wave'. It had begun as a simple history experiment to liven up their World War II studies and had become a craze that was taking over their lives. Laurie's classmates are changing from normal teenagers into chanting, saluting fanatics. 'The Wave' is sweeping through the school - and it is out of control.
Laurie's friends scoff at her warnings but she knows she must make them see what they have become before it's too late.
One of a series of top-quality fiction for schools. When Ben shows
his pupils a film about the Nazis' persecution of the Jews, they
can't believe it could happen. So he introduces a new disciplinary
system in an attempt to shown them how powerful group pressure can
be. But things get out of hand.
