Описание: AFTER THE FIRST DEATH is a brilliantly tense hostage drama, by Robert Cormier, the acclaimed author of THE CHOCOLATE WAR. It is one of The Originals from Penguin - iconic, outspoken, first. On the outskirts of a small American town, a bus-load of young children is being held hostage.

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. From political awakening, war and unrequited love to addiction, teenage pregnancy and nuclear holocaust, The Originals confront big issues and articulate difficult truths.

Описание: One of the most controversial YA novels of all time, The Chocolate War is a modern 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.

Important consideration is given to the contemporary cultural and ecological factors involved.

Описание: Before there was Lois Lowry's The Giver or M. T. Anderson's Feed, there was Robert Cormier's I Am the Cheese, a subversive classic that broke new ground for YA literature.

A boy's search for his father becomes a desperate journey to unlock a secret past.

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
