The Rag and Bone Shop

The Rag and Bone Shop is by Robert Cormier. A young girl is brutally murdered. A fragile young man named Jason was the last person to see her alive. The community is outraged and the killer must be caught. An expert interrogator is called in to get a confession from Jason. But is he guilty? Does that even matter? A frighteningly magnificent book. Cormier at his best. This book is sure to inspire some wonderful discussion.

Ratings: 8th grade - 10 out of 10 - AC (mature thematic content).
