Description
Starting high school can be scary, but moving to a new city with your family for a year just before grade nine can make life hell. Throw in a private Mennonite school where the kids have all known each other since birth, a German class that doesn’t make any sense and a creative writing teacher that’s not all that creative and you have a year in the teenaged life of author Corey Redekop. In Cheating at the End of the World, Redekop shares with readers how he deals with being the new kid at school, and a creative writing class that he hopes will be his salvation that year. Instead it ends up being the class he despises the most. While he could go with the flow and wait things out, Corey chooses another path, seeking his revenge in the only way that he can: through words.
