Cheating Lessons

Can honesty be the worst policy? Bernadette Terrell has always known the right thing to do. Not the most popular girl in school, her focus has always been on academic, not social, success. When her favorite teacher names her to Wickham High School's state championship quiz bowl team, she believes she has reached the pinnacle of her academic career. But her elation quickly fades when she suspects that someone may have cheated to get Wickham into the contest and is cheating still. In her search for answers, Bernadette must contend with a situation that isn't black and white, where a community's hope, hard work, and pride are on the line. What she discovers are some hard truths about right and wrong-and the downside of trust.Cappo, Nan Willard is the author of 'Cheating Lessons ' with ISBN 9780689860188 and ISBN 0689860188.
