The Cheat

176 pp. | Dial | February, 2003 | Trade ISBN 0-8037-2794-1 $$16.99
(4) 4-6 Six students describe, in first-person narratives, the consequences of a middle-school cheating scandal. Sarah supplies the answers to the exam to her friends; Kate decides she can't cheat; Rob cheats but, when caught, cannot face his abusive father. The prose strains under the effort to make each character's voice distinct, but readers will be intrigued by the premise.
