Chocolate WarJerry is one of the best: he's honest, straightforward and hardworking. He's just scraped into the football team at his new school, and things are looking good.

Then he meets Archie, leader of The Vigils, the school Mafia. Archie can see straight away that Jerry's not going to fit in with The Vigils - and if you're not going to fit in with them, you're very definitely out.

Jerry wants to be out when the school sale comes round. Who says he has to sell chocolates? But Archie's help has been enlisted by one of the masters, and Archie has his reputation to uphold. Jerry must conform...
