It is the way that the topics are handled that's important, and that applies whether it is a 15-year-old who is reading your book or someone who is 55."

    Extractions: You've lived the whole of your life in Leominster, and have been in the same house for over 40 years. Why? I think I like that sense of security and that sense ofit sounds like a clichebut roots. When I was young growing up, I thought that to be a writer I had to travel the world, and have all these experiences. Then at some point... I think it goes back to the adventures of Tom Sawyer... that was the first book I really ever owned that wasn't a text book... my godmother gave it to me when I was 11 or 12. Tom Sawyer with his adventures, painting the fence... I sorta realised that there was drama right there in my own neighbourhood. I've thought about that since. At the time it occurred it wasn't a lightning bolt, but I've always been conscious of not having to travel that far. The legends I heard when I was a child, the strikes at the shops were very dramatic to me. Then I'd read

Cormier, who was a newspaper reporter and columnist for 30 years is inspired by news events and, in some cases, by circumstances in his own life for the basis of his plots. And, he has an outstanding ability to create stories which capture human interest. No critic has ever captured more succinctly Cormier's ability to make us see what motivates behavior which is often called evil but which becomes understandable when seen through the eyes of his characters. " I take real people and put them in extraordinary situations," he said in an interview in SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL. "I'm very much interested in intimidation. And the way people manipulate other people. and the obvious abuse of authority."

Search Amazon.com This book was reviewed by Carol Otis Hurst in Teaching K-8 Magazine Denny's father is being harassed by late night phone calls and letters which he seems to accept with an odd kind of passivity. When he was sixteen, he was an usher in a theater where twenty-two children were killed and, althoug he was absolved of all blame for the disaster, some think he was at fault. Now Denny is sixteen and is himself being harassed and seduced by a mysterious voice on the telephone. He needs to understand his father, a good but uncommunicative man, and he needs to face himself before he faces others. Like all Cormier's work, the tone is ominous, and the suspense propels the reader toward the climax.

Robert Cormier? In a time when information has become an increasingly valuable commodity, the library is the only place where information remains practically free, the Oklahoma Gazette reports in a cover story on a local library controversy. As Oklahoma County's Metropolitan Library System works to meet demands for information, some citizens are working to limit the availability of resources. Members of Oklahomans for Children and Families, an Oklahoma City-based group, have charged that some of the library's materials are obscene and pornographic. According to library policy, however, the Metropolitan Library System does not hold books judged illegal under Oklahoma law. Members of OCAF, with the support of the Virginia-based Family Friendly Libraries (FFL), have protested five books at Metropolitan Library Commission meetings for the past four months, asking that they be removed from the general collection and placed in a restricted area, such as behind the circulation desk. None of the books are shelved in the children's section. In his 38 years of library work, MLS director Lee Brawner says he has always heard complaints about library materials, but never in a way so organized as groups such as OCAF and FFL.

    The Chocolate War. By robert cormier. Review Second Review AnalysisThe Chocolate War. By robert cormier. 4 Stars. I thoroughly  
    http://www.ced.appstate.edu/whs/chocolat.htm
    
    Extractions: Analysis I thoroughly enjoyed Robert Cormier's The Chocolate War . After reading the last word and closing the book, I wanted to read the novel again without the knowledge of what would happen. This story is similar to Farenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury and Thomas Baird's Smart Rats , although these books were not about the same situations, they gave me comparable thoughts and feelings. These works do not have fairy tale endings and are not about happy, contented people. The Chocolate War is unlike the humorous novel Squashed by Joan Bauer. I read Squashed purely for entertainment. There are no deep themes or tension in Squashed like in The Chocolate War , whereas every word Robert Cormier wrote increases the suspense for the last scene. I read this book off and on for three days and could not put it down. This book is so well written I liked almost everything about the story. I particularly liked the characterization of Brother Jacques. He has a small part. and represents noble qualities in people. Unlike Brother Leon, he does not favor the Vigils. Brother Jacques is the only teacher who cares about his students. The setting is split between the protagonist's home and hos school. The majority of the time he is at school. One particular scene is extremely vivid, the description of the athletic field is full and complete. The stadium is packed and raffle tickets are being sold, And is the center there is a boxing ring. The crowd is loud and raucous, waiting for the event to begin. These descriptions increase the apprehension. This is my favorite part of the novel.
