Welcome to another Wednesday Night Book Club, this week I discuss the books "The Chocolate War" 1974 and "Beyond the Chocolate War" 1985 by Robert Cormier.
Two of my all-time favorite young adult novels! Welcome to Trinity High School and meet "The Vigils" a secret society of students built to keep order at school. Meet Archie, the "assigner" for The Vigils, his job is to come up with twisted assignments for students to do, and his newest victim, Jerry, the new kid at school still grieving from the loss of his mother. What happens when a rock meets a hard place?
Let's get high and talk about it!

(don't worry, Andy isn't sitting in his room, waiting by his phone like it's the 90s, just fiddling with the long chord, reading "Babysitters Club: Dawn and the Older Boy"...)
