The Chocolate War by Robert Cormier
The chocolate war was a very interesting book. It wasn’t at all what I thought it was going to be about but it ended up being one of my all time favorite movies. It’s about a young boy who attends a private school that is run by a group of high school students that call themselves the Vigils. They give different assignments to different kids every week and see if they can carry out with them.

At boarding school she gets roomed with two cool junior girls and does everything she can to become cool and popular. She steals one of the girls boyfriends and at a pep rally she amazes everyone by doing a totally embarassing cheer that the girls set up to be a prank on her but she over did them. The two girls used to be best friends with a girl that used to go to Waverly, the boarding school but she got kicked out. A little ways into this school year she comes back and does not like Jenny.
