"Robert Cormier has written a brilliant sequel, more finely crafted, denser in plotting, and more subtle in character nuance than at his debut ten years ago as a YA author. Beyond the Chocolate War is a Newberry Medal candidate-if not the hands-down winner."-Children's Book Review Service "No one has read Robert Cormier's young adult novel The Chocolate War can forget the anguish of that fight under the spotlights at the Trinity School...Mr. Cormier is almost unique in his powerful integration of the personal, politcal, and moral. Beyond the Chocolate War is very much a sequel."-The New York Times Book Review "Readers will be riveted to this suspensful novel...After reading this sequel readers will probably demand to read its predecessor if they haven't already read it. The best of Cormier's highly acclaimed novels..."-Voice of Youth Advocates
