Laurel se découvre une passion pour le journalisme d'investigation.

Pour écrire un article-choc, elle mène une enquête sur une triche à son école. Elle découvre que la tricherie est généralisée—beaucoup plus qu'elle ne l'avait imaginé. Aveugle à toute autre préoccupation, Laurel est prête à perdre ses amies pour tirer cette histoire au clair. Mais son ultime découverte change tout.

Cet ouvrage en format ePub est entièrement accessible. Également disponible sous le titre Cheat en anglais.

After nearly 30 years as a published author, Kristin has written more biographies of herself than she cares to remember. And she has run out of new ways to describe the same old life. Besides, she doesn't think of herself in terms of her birthplace, education, and work history. What she'd really like people to know about her is that she loves to dance. She loves to laugh. She loves to learn. Crossword puzzles relax her. Waiting frustrates her. She likes spending time by herself. And, like the heroine in her new book Closer to Far Away, she has a family that gives her strength. Her books include Cheat, Girls Like Me, The Druid and the Dragon, and Alibi. Kristin lives in Campbell River, British Columbia.

School Library Journal (SLJ)

"It was easy to get caught up in this book—enough suspense to keep the story moving briskly along. A good hi-low read for teens."

Puget Sound Council for Review of Children's Media

"Butcher offers an insightful look into the ethics and morals of high school students...The short book really lends itself to a good discussion."

Pennsylvania School Librarians Association (PSLA) Top Forty

"A realistic portrayal of high school students' attitudes towards cheating…This is a well written narrative that will challenge readers to make a decision about what's right and what's wrong. Recommended."

School Library Connection (SLC)

"Short, quick chapters are propelled by frenetic action…True to life, this book does not offer a tidy, Pollyanna-ish conclusion; Laurel comes to learn from this experience a difficult lesson at a great expense. A speedy read."
