Description
Laurel se découvre une passion pour le journalisme d'investigation.
Pour écrire un article-choc, elle mène une enquête sur une triche à son école. Elle découvre que la tricherie est généralisée—beaucoup plus qu'elle ne l'avait imaginé. Aveugle à toute autre préoccupation, Laurel est prête à perdre ses amies pour tirer cette histoire au clair. Mais son ultime découverte change tout.
Cet ouvrage en format ePub est entièrement accessible.

Editorial Reviews
"Well suited to its intended audience…With its succinct text, short chapters, and emphasis on contemporary teen issues, Cheat should be popular with reluctant young adult readers….Recommended."
— CM: Canadian Review of Materials
"Butcher offers an insightful look into the ethics and morals of high school students...The short book really lends itself to a good discussion."
— Pennsylvania School Librarians Association (PSLA) Top Forty
"A realistic portrayal of high school students' attitudes towards cheating…This is a well written narrative that will challenge readers to make a decision about what's right and what's wrong. Recommended."
— School Library Connection (SLC)
"It was easy to get caught up in this book—enough suspense to keep the story moving briskly along. A good hi-low read for teens."
— Puget Sound Council for Review of Children's Media
"Butcher's portrayal of high school cheating is believable, with actual consequences...The pacing will keep reluctant readers hooked until the very end."
— School Library Journal (SLJ)
"Short, quick chapters are propelled by frenetic action…True to life, this book does not offer a tidy, Pollyanna-ish conclusion; Laurel comes to learn from this experience a difficult lesson at a great expense. A speedy read."
— Kirkus Reviews
