Koss, Amy Goldman. The Cheat
Koss, Amy Goldman. The cheat. Scholastic, 2003 [0-439-70179-1]
This is the story of a bunch of 8th graders involved in a cheating scan for the Geography mid-term. Sarah is one of the popular girls at school and is able to convince Jake to get his sister's last year copy of the Geography mid-term. Sarah give the answers to several other kids. Unfortunately the teacher changed two questions and they are caught. This 175 page book is told be each of the involved students in alternating chapters. The author gets into the hearts and feelings of middle school students, their loves, their fears, relationships with their parent and school faculty, and their feelings of honor. It is a well written book which will be approachable by many students.

I fell asleep while reading it. And I began reading it at 1:00 PM!! Boring!! It tries to teach us a lesson we shoulld already know and it fails at it anyway!!
DO NOT READ THIS BOOK!
Not so great...
I justed finish reading it for a book review and what you said was only half of the excitment but nice summary
=)
i juz finished reading the book about 5 miutes ago... n you were wrong... Sarah didn't ask for the answer sheet... Jake just well kinda offered them to her... Juz wanted to point that fact out.. It's a gud book to read yes.... but,only if ur into tis kinda thing.
OMFG!!!THIS BOOK IS PWNAGE ITS BETTER THEN HALO 3 WORLD OF WARCRAFT AND RUNESCAPE OMFG! I THINK I ALMOST PEE'D MYSELF WHEN I FOUND OUT THAT THEY GOT COUGHT!
its good so far...
p.s. its actually 176 pages... lol
i just finished reading it and i don't really like it!
This book was awesome but your sumary is a little off key but its still a pretty good summary
ive only read to page 26 so far, i would like it except for the fact that i dont understand it
I REALLY HATE THIS BOOK. The worst part is that I have to write a book report on it - what is the setting anyway? Modern-day WHERE? Some weird city or in suburbia? I DON'T REMEMBER READING ANYTHING ABOUT THE SETTING OR WHAT THE CHARACTERS LOOKED LIKE. This SUCKS.
The teacher didnt just change two answers, he had a new test eith different anwers mixed around and when they cheated he found out they used last years test answers and in the end jake turns himself in because he thinks its right.
Its boring and the only reason im reading it is because my teacher is makeing me and my friends do this for reading groups.She has a bad selection of books Booo to Mrs. Wintory
You either love it or hate it. I love the way Koss made each person talk and think differently. A REAL writer can write like that!!!---@

This is an awesome book you have to read it! the book is actually better than the summary. trust me, it's not a waist of your time!
