A note for parents
This dark sequel to *The Chocolate War* is a psychological exploration of bullying, corruption, and power abuse at a Catholic preparatory school. The story culminates in disturbing violence and contains mature themes of manipulation and cruelty that reflect real institutional toxicity. While it offers some critique of these problems, the book is emotionally heavy and best suited to older teens who can process its bleak worldview.
