I Am The Cheese

Robert Cormier
Laurel-Leaf, New York, 1977

Genres: Mystery, Family, Journey
Reading Level: Young Adult (14-18)
Pages: 214
Awards: Phoenix Award

Summary:
This is about a boy named Adam who is in search of his father. He sets out on a bicycle, yet somehow travels back through time as he tries to remember who he is and what happened to his father. This mystery must not be solved if Adam is to survive.

Reaction:
Weird, but very interesting. I wouldn't say it's my favorite Robert Cormier book so far, but I wouldn't say that it's without merit. I liked the psychological mystery involved, but I thought that the ending was a little too confusing. I wouldn't recommend this book for teens younger than high school because it's requires a little bit more maturity to deal with the content.

Cautionary Note: Violence, some language. Death.

I read this book! I don't remember how I found it but I read it in high school. It was weird! But overall, I liked it.

(This is Heather by the way...I don't know if that will show up)
