A good middle-grade book. I really liked all the different character personalities, their POV and the progression of the story.
I’m passing it on to a couple of middle-grade grandchildren.

Interesting perspectives about cheating. Love Rob, though Dan was a jerk, and Ruby was hilarious. I also agree that with cheating, your living a lie, especially if you continue cheating. Scary to think, what if pilots and mechanics cheated at learning their jobs? Cool experience!

Eighth graders who have never before cheated in school, decide to do so on one test, and then face the consequences. Each chapter is from a different point of view, as each character reacts--either it's no big deal, or it's a big deal and throws them into cold sweats, and so on. Some students are afraid of how their parents will react when they find out about the cheating. And the big question, will they narc on who got them the test answers? Very interesting book.

I'd give this zero stars if GoodReads allowed such... This book is too terrible for words. I wanted to rip it into tiny pieces several times, actually. Ugh. Such a stupid story.

This is a book about six students who are involved in cheating to one degree or another. Each chapter in the book is written from the point of view of a different student. Koss does a really good job of showing us the different perspectives of a typical cross section of middle school kids. The frequent switch in point of view may make this a difficult book for some readers. As a teacher, I find it annoying that while the students have to deal with the consequences of cheating not all of them ever understand why it is wrong.
