Gr 7 Up—The 13 entries in this book were written from the perspective of those who have cheated, for example, an "economic hit man," and those who have observed cheating, such as college professors. The selections are organized in several sections, including the school setting, the workplace, and sports. A list of organizations is included. This collection is particularly interesting because of the use of the personal narrative, and it is a good addition for libraries.—Carol Jones Collins, Hanover Park High School, East Hanover, NJ

Subtopics include "Cheating in School" (e.g., reselling other students' work), "Workplace Ethics" (e.g., stealing office supplies), and "Cheating in Sports" (e.g., administering steroids).
