The Chocolate war

This realistic fiction novel was published back in 1974, however it is still a great read for a mature young reader. Based on a boy named Jerry, who evaluates his actions, all because of a quote that read, "Do I Dare Disturb the World?". Based off this quote is what sparks students to awaken from the order that has been in place as long as The Vigils have been in control. This novel takes place at Trinity High School, a private all boys catholic school, where there is a secret student organization called "The Vigils". The Vigils basically rule the whole student body, by giving them (underclassmen) "jobs".  As the school prepares to undergo their annual chocolate fundraising, the vice-principal, Brother Leon, decides to make all students sell twice as much as they did the previous year. The Vigil tell Jerry to refuse to sell for exactly 10 days, however Jerry decides to refuse to sell no matter what. True colors pour out of this catholic school when the universe is disturbed.
