Review
"'Beth Goobie is a writer of huge ability and skill.' Kenneth Oppel, author of Airborn"

Product Description
'You know how it works. Everyone cooperates. Everyone wants a victim, Sally...and now it's your turn. Now you're Shadow's victim, Shadow's dud for the year. We'll assign you duties and you'll perform them. When we pull your leash, you'll come.'15-year-old Sally Hanson's school is secretly ruled by a group of students known as the 'Shadow Council'. At the beginning of every school year, the Shadow Council hold The Lottery, an infamous ritual in which a student is chosen to be the year's 'victim' - a person who is shunned by the entire school and forced to obey the Shadow Council's every wish. This year Sally is the Shadow Council's victim - and she is about to face the worst year of her life. Resistance is futile and loyal friends are ignoring her. However, Sally has been hiding a horrifying secret - a secret that threatens to overwhelm her as the betrayal and psychological torture grows.

4.0 out of 5 stars very good,a bit wierd, 18 Feb 2006
By rubbah "rubbah" (Hertfordshire) - See all my reviews
The basic story line is that Sally is the 'victim' for the year at school. All her friends abandon her and she has to complete whatever tasks the shadow council(a bunch of power hungry seniors) sets for her.I really enjoyed this book and thought it was a good psycological thriller, though a bit wierd. Don't read it if you want to feel happy and warm inside but do if you like something that's a bit different.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Good, 4 Oct 2008
By D. Ellison (Derbyshire, England, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Lottery (Paperback)
I love this book. It contains everything you want in a book. You feel like you are at the school.It even makes me cry and thats saying something. The only bad poitn is that it ends to quickly. It feels like there is a beginning and a middle but no end

Otherwise its a brilliant book.

2.0 out of 5 stars It wasn't gripping, 1 Aug 2006
I love to pick up a book and not be able to put it down. Unfortunatly, I soon got un-interested in the book as it soon became tidious. I couldn't get into the book and although some may find it interesting which in a way I did but there was something missing something that should give suspense which this book to me failed miserably.
