Editorial Reviews

"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

"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

"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

"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'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)

"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)
