About this listen

 Jerry Renault ponders the question on the poster in his locker: Do I dare disturb the universe? Refusing to sell chocolates in the annual Trinity school fund-raiser may not seem like a radical thing to do. But when Jerry challenges a secret school society called The Vigils, his defiant act turns into an all-out war. Now the only question is: Who will survive? First published in 1974, Robert Cormier's groundbreaking novel, an unflinching portrait of corruption and cruelty, has become a modern classic.©1974 Robert Cormier (P)2004 Random House, Inc.

Good Recording

The entire book is here. The narrator adds great expression which kept my students interested. The story was a little slow moving but it has a great ending that leaves you pondering interesting concepts about authority and responsibility,

Only part of the book

I purchase the book for my son for school and I guess it was not clear that this was not the full book. He is enjoying the story and now I have to find the full book.
