That's what Jerry Renault learns when he refuses to participate in his school's annual candy drive and incurs the wrath of the ruling clique of students a wrath egged on by the school's administration. The ending - which takes place in a boxing ring - is brutal, frightening, and completely mesmerizing.

Author Corner Home MAE Award Home Reading Corner Home Blume ... Zindel Robert Cormier His Books Other Information Other Web Sites I n 1991, Robert Cormier received the MAE Award. The committee cited his novels: The Chocolate War I Am the Cheese , and After the First Death He was born in Leominster, Massachusetts. Cormier says, “I was a skinny kid living in a ghetto-type neighborhood wanting the world to know that I existed.” When his own children were small, he worked as a newspaper reporter and wrote at night. He writes a story over and over until he is satisfied. “With each novel, I fill a shopping bag with material that has been rewritten.” He wants to make the story as true as possible, yet censors often dislike his books, and this surprises him. The teen years, explains Cormier, are not a “peppermint world of fun and frolic.” He tries to show the “strength of young adults—their resilience, their ability to absorb the blows teenage life delivers.” One time a woman who hated his books met Cormier and instead of finding a monster, she saw who he really was—an ordinary guy trying to be “one of the good guys, sometimes failing, but trying anyway.”

ACHUKA News Chat Teen/YA ... Specials Robert Cormier meets Melvin Burgess The two authors were introduced by Kirsten Grant of Puffin and the discussion was chaired by Jonathan Douglas of the Library Association. Both Jonathan Douglas's questions and the responses of the two authors have been heavily edited, but what follows is a transcript not a precis... JD : At the heart of many people's concerns with your writing is the fact that they don't see your books as young people's books... A lot of people expect there to be a moral framework in works of fiction for children... they expect a point to it all... and a distance between the reader and the experience and a cushioning of the impact of what's going on in the novel. Clearly those things aren't evident in your writing. What is it about the writing that actually defines it as work for young people? MB RC JD : All of us, regardless of our age, can only stand so much truth, so much honesty, and the younger you are the less emotionally equipped you are to cope with the situation. Is it fair to expect people to deal with the truth and honesty which you display in your writing at an age in which they haven't experienced it for themselves. MB : I've never come across that child, who's been so traumatized by what they've been reading. If anyone wants to introduce me to them, I'd be very interested. I remember when

Online Store Language Arts: Novel Guides Home Language Arts Novel Guides Author Profiles Robert Cormier Robert Cormier was born in 1925 in French Hill, a French-Canadian neighborhood of Leominster, Massachusetts, and has lived in Leominster all his life. The second of eight children, Robert enjoyed a happy childhood in the nest of his close-knit family and community. His family provided him a haven from the outer world. Cormier didn't fare well in the streets of his neighborhood, where ballplaying ability counted for more than his love of books. He attended St. Celia's Parochial Grammar School, where some of the nuns gave him a terrible time. When he was in eighth grade, he watched in horror from his classroom window as his own house caught fire and burned. His teacher refused to let him go to see if his family was safe until he had said the requisite prayers. This incident enraged him for years afterward. One of the nuns, however, made a remark that changed the way he thought of himself. His seventh-grade teacher read one of his poems and told him that he was a writer. He believed her, and continued to think of himself as one. Later, a teacher at Fitchburg State College was so impressed with one of Cormier's stories that she submitted it to a magazine; it became his first published work.

You are currently visiting the ACLU online archives. These pages are not updated. For the latest information from the ACLU, go to http://www.aclu.org January 10, 1997: The People v. Robert Cormier? In a time when information has become an increasingly valuable commodity, the library is the only place where information remains practically free, the Oklahoma Gazette reports in a cover story on a local library controversy. As Oklahoma County's Metropolitan Library System works to meet demands for information, some citizens are working to limit the availability of resources. Members of Oklahomans for Children and Families, an Oklahoma City-based group, have charged that some of the library's materials are obscene and pornographic. According to library policy, however, the Metropolitan Library System does not hold books judged illegal under Oklahoma law. Members of OCAF, with the support of the Virginia-based Family Friendly Libraries (FFL), have protested five books at Metropolitan Library Commission meetings for the past four months, asking that they be removed from the general collection and placed in a restricted area, such as behind the circulation desk. None of the books are shelved in the children's section. In his 38 years of library work, MLS director Lee Brawner says he has always heard complaints about library materials, but never in a way so organized as groups such as OCAF and FFL.
