The hijackers are a cold and ruthless group, opposed to the secret government agency Inner Delta. At the centre of the battle are three teenagers. Miro is the terrorist with no past and no emotions.
Kate is the bus driver, caught up in the nightmare, and Ben is the General's son who must act as a go-between. The Originals are the pioneers of fiction for young adults.

Описание: One of the most controversial YA novels of all time, The Chocolate Waris amodern masterpiece that speaks to fans of S. E. Hinton's The Outsiders and John Knowles's A Separate Peace. After suffering rejection from seven major publishers, The Chocolate War made its debut in 1974, and quickly became a bestselling--and provocative--classic for young adults. This chilling portrait of an all-boys prep school casts an unflinching eye on the pitfalls of conformity and corruption in our most elite cultural institutions. "Masterfully structured and rich in theme; the action is well crafted, well timed, suspenseful."--The New York Times Book Review "The characterizations of all the boys are superb."--School Library Journal, starred review "Compellingly immediate. . . . Readers will respect the uncompromising ending."--Kirkus Reviews, starred review An ALA Best Book for Young Adults A School Library Journal Best Book of the Year A Kirkus Reviews Editor's Choice A New York Times Outstanding Book of the Year

But the past must not be remembered if the boy is to survive. As he searches for the truth that hovers at the edge of his mind, the boyand readersarrive at a shattering conclusion.
';An absorbing, even brilliant job. The book is assembled in mosaic fashion: a tiny chip here, a chip there.
. . .
Everything is related to something else; everything builds and builds to a fearsome climax. . .
. [Cormier] has the knack of making horror out of the ordinary, as the masters of suspense know how to do.'The New York Times Book Review
';A horrifying tale of government corruption, espionage, and counter espionage told by an innocent young victim. .
. . The buildup of suspense is terrific.'School Library Journal, starred review
