Product Description:
WARRIORS ROCK!
Sixteen-year-old Jericho is psyched when he and his cousin and best friend, Josh, are invited to pledge for the Warriors of Distinction, the oldest and most exclusive club in school. Just being a pledge wins him the attention of Arielle, one of the hottest girls in his class, whom he's been too shy even to talk to before now.
But as the secret initiation rites grow increasingly humiliating and force Jericho to make painful choices, he starts to question whether membership in the Warriors of Distinction is worth it. How far will he have to go to wear the cool grey silk Warriors jacket? How high a price will he have to pay to belong? The answers are devastating beyond Jericho's imagination.

This book was ordered for my son for an English class. He finished the book before the class because he enjoyed it so.

Jericho Prescott thinks to be a part of the Warriors of Distinction, a high school club, will somehow improve his life. The thought of wearing the grey silk jacket he'll receive once he undergoes the "Bonding of the Brotherhood", being noticed by his peers, and getting the attention of a particular girl seem to be more important to him than anything.
Against his better judgment, he endures humiliation, mind games & numerous indignities to become a Warrior of Distinction. He wants to belong to the best group in the school so badly, in fact, that he gives up a chance to live his dream of studying the trumpet at Julliard, one of the world's premier performing arts schools. Sadly, it takes a tragic accident to open his eyes to the fact that everything that glitters isn't gold.
As I read what went on during the so-called Bonding of the Brotherhood (hazing, in actuality), it really bothered me. But what bothered me most was how these alarming events were taking place, and the parents of these young people had no idea what their teens were going through. This story drives home the importance of parents keeping track of their children's lives.

This book is AMAZING. You never lose intrest. It keeps you going. It is also very touching. It tells about the things that kids will go through just to be cool under peer pressure. But what you have to realize is the danger you could be putting yourself into. It is the best book that you will have read ever or in a very long time. Sharon Draper is a wonderful author. i would recommend this book to anyone as my very first choice. It is also great for any teen looking forward to get into reading. This book is definitely a good way to get started.I give this book 10 stars!!!!!

This story will grab you at the beginning. You learn about the teenage mind and how it is to be pressured into being "cool". Josh, the main character, is sucked into a world of wanting. Wanting to be with the so called Warriors. The truth is they aren't the easiest group to get into. Everyone thinks they are so great, all the boys want to be like them, the girls love them, and they are like the kings of the high school. But to get in to the group you must endeavor unbelieveable stunts.
Dana, female character who wants to be in the group even though it is a boys one, secretly joins. They make her get the worst oo it and her life is put in danger. Over all it is suspenseful, keeps you guessing on the subsequent task they might have to go through. All through the book you think about what a teen has to go through because "cool" is in.
Nice book, should be read.

The Battle of Jericho is about a teenager named Jericho and his friends getting into the club, the Warriors of Destruction. I actually give all the Sharon Draper books 5 stars. At first, the book is hard to get into, but after maybe the fifth chapter of the book, it starts to get interesting. Then, you just can't put it down. The Battle of Jericho is fiction. This book is for ages 14 and up. I don't think younger kids would understand and it might be hard to cope if you're too young. I even cried. Also, this book is an exciting and emotional book, because it made me cry, laugh and get mad. It's a very good book. I think that girls and boys could read The Battle of Jericho.
The main characters are Jericho, Josh, Kofi, Ariel, November and Dana. The Warriors of Destruction is a club at Jericho's school that everyone wants to be apart of yet it's very hard to get in. They chant this song every time they have a dance or after an accomplishment. Jericho, Josh, Kofi, and Dana are all trying to be apart of this club.
The Christmas toy drive is getting everyone closer together. It lets the leaders know how the new pledges will act if they're selected. So far everyone that was asked to help with the toy drive is still on board. The warriors dance is here and everyone's got a date and they're being asked to join the Warriors of Destruction but someone slips in and signs up no girls allowed. Yet they have to let Dana in because she signed up a while ago and she's already said the pledge and swore to the silence of the brotherhood. The very first night of the activities is they make them do... will they let Dana in the club or just let her be in just give her some extra trouble? How far will they have to go to get in this club? How dangerous will the stunts be? How far will the leaders push their limits to the beyond and farther? I think you should read this book and I promise you will enjoy this book The Battle of Jericho!
