Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Gr. 7^-10. Cooney's story is several moral cuts above standard YA horror fare. Enrolling in a mysterious night school course, four California teens encounter an evil instructor--and their own worst character defects. As they torment a teacher and a fellow student, the four learn to accept the outcomes of moral choices that determine whether their spheres of influence in others' lives will be good or evil. They learn to accept individual responsibility for their actions instead of blaming the morality of their peer group, to pay more attention to other people in their lives, and to care beyond themselves. They also learn that inner selves are more important than surface appearances. Young adults will recognize themselves, or people they know, in these characters. Engrossing and well written, with references to contemporary adolescent culture, the novel will both entertain and enlighten YA readers. Merri Monks

Horrible,
By A Customer
This review is from: Night School (Turtleback)
This is perhaps the worst book I have ever read, and I have read lots of books. The author uses way too much symbolism, and she overuses similes and metaphors.....there is at least 1 in each paragraph!!! This gets EXTREMELY annoying and iritating. Also, the plot is cheesy, and the author never tells about the feelings the students have when they "become dark." They all act normal. I'm done, I've said my piece, NEVER READ THIS BOOK! A waste of time.
