Cheater by Michael Laser explores the validity of dishonesty to achieve an objective. Super smart high school junior Karl Petrofsky becomes involved with a ring of students who use quite a bit of technology to cheat on classroom tests. One of the ringleaders Blaine tells Karl that “school’s purpose…is to sort us out…if it were really about learning, then grades wouldn’t matter.” Lizette, Karl’s real friend, tells him that “cheating doesn’t help anybody…it’s a matter of pride.” Ethical considerations come into play. Good entertaining read that questions right and wrong.
