Sixteen-year-old Cara Lange has been a loner ever since she moved away from her best and only friend, Zoe, years ago. She eats lunch with the other girls from the track team, but they’re not really her friends. Mostly she spends her time watching Ethan Gray from a distance, wishing he would finally notice her, and avoiding the popular girls who call her “Choker” after a humiliating incident in the cafeteria.
Then one day Cara comes home to find Zoe waiting for her. Zoe’s on the run from problems at home, and Cara agrees to help her hide. With her best friend back, Cara’s life changes overnight. Zoe gives her a new look and new confidence, and next thing she knows, she’s getting invited to parties and flirting with Ethan. Best of all, she has her BFF there to confide in.
But just as quickly as Cara’s life comes together, it starts to unravel. A girl goes missing in her town, and everyone is a suspect—including Ethan. Worse still, Zoe starts behaving strangely, and Cara begins to wonder what exactly her friend does all day when she’s at school. You’re supposed to trust your best friend no matter what, but what if she turns into a total stranger?

Choker is an amazing book and had me hooked from start to finish. It’s about Cara and her best friend Zoe who runs away from home. It started off a little slowly, but it was an amazing read when things picked up. The plot line was a bit confusing, but by the end it was all clear. When Zoe comes Cara gains confidence and becomes more comfortable in her skin. However, Zoe doesn’t like how her friend is turning out and people in the town start to disappear. I couldn’t stop reading Choker, it kept me on the edge of my seat and continued to surprise me. The ending was amazing and left me in disbelief, it was a major plot twist that I didn’t see coming. The author dropped hits throughout the book that something about Zoe was not quite right. Being in Cara’s mind it added to the creepiness of Zoe and the girls disappearing. The book had a simple plot line that delivered a punch in the end. The only issue I had with this book was the main character, Cara, I couldn’t sympathise with her, but she showed strength and developed a lot as a character, making me able to like her more. I would definitely recommend this book for people who enjoy books with big plot twists and thrillers. Definitely read this book, the ending will shock you.

When I first opened this book I had absolutely no idea of the journeys to come! Choker, written by Elizabeth Woods is a book about a young girl named Cara, who finds it extremely difficult to cope especially now as she moved houses from her best friend, (a while back) but now as she’s in high school she needs her bestie back for support. However one late afternoon when Cara comes back from school she sees Zoe her best friends sitting right beside her bed. This is almost impossible to believe but it’s true Cara is shocked but happy at the same time. The scary part about this whole book is that it is like a murder mystery just waiting to be solved. Because as soon as Zoe arrives mysterious things start to happen around the neighbour hood, a death occurs!

Cocker is one of my favourite books I have ever read. I read it last year for lit circles and I still can’t believe what happened at the end… I loved chocker because I felt like I was a detective picking up all the little clues along the way. Normally I don’t like horror books but Chocker has made me realise that there actually so fun to read. It’s about a girl called Cara and her very strange friend called Zoe, Zoe hides in Caras room and whist Cara is away Zoe gets up to some pretty weird and creepy things if you ask me. The start of the book is very slow and confusing but you have to get through it because trust me it gets wayy better. I would recommend it to anyone over 12 and would rate it a 10/10.

This book is one of my all time favourites. I normally don’t like reading novels but this book was the exception. From start to finish I had goosebumps, always trying to predict what would happen next! The book showed a real sense of mystery and drama which kept the book interesting and because of all the suspense it pulled you in to read more, not wanting to put the book down. Coming to the end of the novel was actually disappointing, I wished there were more chapters left so the mystery would continue, yet the ending was the best part, I could have predicted the outcome. The book was so creative filled with such suspense and a chilling storyline. I would recommend this book to older kids who loves creepy and unexpected books.

OMG this book is one of the best book, I don’t read a lot but when I got this book for lit circles I knew that I was going to enjoy this. Cara was my favourite character because she was always filled with thriller, mystery and she was happy but sad in some situations. The other characters were so good and they were all different which made them unique. Friendships wasn’t the best for Cara she always had an issue but eventually got to the end and moved on. Which made me keep on reading this book was al the twist and turns. What I like is an unexceptional scene at the end of the book and that curtly happened so that made me not put the book down. I recommend this book to 11-16 because I think that it is a good book to read in any year level during school.

Not exactly sure what I expected after reading the synopsis…. but I didn’t expect what I got.
If I had to use one word to describe Choker it would be creepy. The kind creepy where you have goosebumps all over because you feel like someone or something is watching you. Yeah, Choker was like that.
My favorite thing about this novel was the plot. It was simple, yet intense with plenty of twists and turns to keep the reader guessing. Despite the mere size of the novel with it’s two-hundred some pages, It definitely delivers some punch! As far as characterization….I wasn’t a fan of Cara… she was the worst pushover, but it worked for this story. Had Cara been any other way, I don’t think the story would have had the desired effect. Zoe…. scared the crap out me… the other characters didn’t really leave a lasting impression.
If you’re looking for a quick mind blowing read, you should pick Choker up, don’t let the pink cover fool you!

OMG this book was the best book ever!! i loved cara so much! This book was a book i could not put down, i enjoyed every second of this book and wanted to just keep on reading. I did this book for lit circles and it was frustrating because i had to keep stopping at a certain spot each week which was very hard for me. I love the way the author portrayed all the characters in a different way, in one chapter we’d be in love with a particular character and in the next chapter my mind would change completely about them because they had done something wrong. Chocker had so many unexpected twists i just loved it. Just when i thought the twists were over an even bigger one would come. I recommend this book to all teenage girls wanted to read a very good book.

Choker has been one of my favourite books to read. From the suspense to the mystery you just can’t put down! This book keeps you on the edge of your seat, always needing to know more! I loved seeing Cara’s journey, though it seemed a bit of a cliché teenage drama with the hot boy dating the most popular girl that happens to be rude. Zoe would have to be my favourite character as she is full of surprises that no one saw coming! The ending left me stunned, what would happen next? Will Ethan move on? Will Zoe come back to haunt her? I wished Elizabeth Woods could have explained the ending more or even added another chapter to let the readers know what happens to the characters.
Overall I really enjoyed this thrilling book, the twists and turns were very exciting, though I don’t want to give it away. I would definitely recommend this to readers that love a bit of suspense, though the age I would suggest is 11 or 12 plus as it may be too much for the younger audience with the curse words and ending…

Wow, I can’t believe what I just read. My head was spinning and my tummy was twisting. This book really kept me hanging.

I am a bit suspicious of Zoe she is a very strange and mysterious human being, to be honest I don’t really trust Zoe. The thing I wonder about what are her parents like because the sound very interesting.

Wow, just wow! I recently finished reading Choker, and I’m not going to spoil the ending, but I will say that it was a twist!
At first it seems like another average book, about a girl named Cara who doesn’t fit it in, not since she left her best friend Zoe, is bullied by a popular girl Alexis and her friends, and dreams about dating Ethan Gray, who is also Alexis’s boyfriend.
But than things get interesting! Cara comes home to find Zoe in her room! A girl goes missing, and as the book goes on Zoe starts acting strange.
I would give the book a 9/10, the one thing I didn’t like was that Cara was unable to stand up for herself, which became quite annoying.

Throughout reading Choker, I found some swearing going on, so I would probably recommend this book to people between the age of 13-17. Choker is definitely for someone looking for something scary and mysterious.
At the beginning of this book I was not a big fan, I found it a bit slow, but that does happen to a lot of captivating books; so as I read on I found myself getting more and more pulled in and I couldn’t put the book down. This book is not only a cliffhanger but the way the author wrote it makes you feel like you were there. I love this book because you never know what is going to happen next.
Now that I have read Choker, I love it, and when I say I love it, I mean I really love it, and when I say I really love it, I mean I really, REALLY love it; Gee I could go on forever. I still have so many questions such as, If Zoe is imaginary, how did all those people go missing and die? I mean, the author, Elizabeth Woods MUST make another book, continuing the haunting mysteries and all the parts that make you JUMP! out of your skin!

I recommend this book to anybody who loves a mystery, anybody who loves twists and turns and drama! I am so sad that I’m at the end of this book. I am left asking questions, like ‘how did this happen? why is this happening? but the big question is “is Cara who she seems to be?” I am amazed by the drama and the weirdness of this book! I can’t believe a so called “Zoe” would do this, but was it actually Zoe? OMG i don’t know, i need a second book to find out!

She explains that she has been having some trouble at home. Cara is reluctant but agrees to hide Zoe in her room. Over time, Zoe starts to act stranger and stranger. She snoops through Cara’s room and says weird things. I won’t spoil it, but there are many twists. I thought the ending was a little disappointing. There are many cliffhangers so it is a very interesting book to read. I rate it 7/10.

This book is so fantastic, a real thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat. I remember after each chapter, I would be hungry for more and it was very difficult to put the book down. The title of the book plays a significant role in the story, however that’s all I’m giving away. It’s jammed pack with “Oh my gosh!” moments and is full of twists and turns. I don’t recommend reading it before you go to bed, just in case…
I score this book a 9/10 because I really enjoyed it however there were a few parts where it dragged on a little. But otherwise, fantastic story!

Choker is an absolutely breath taking book. From the very start it has you sitting on the edge of your seat. Cara and Zoe have been best friends since they were little but after a while Cara moves away and Cara and Zoe loose touch. Years later Cara comes home from an exhausting day of school and find Zoe sitting on her bed. This book follows the ups and downs of Cara and Zoe’s friendship. My favourite part of this book is the end when there is an unexpected twist. I like this part of the book because it’s different to most books and it makes it even more interesting. My favourite character in this book is Zoe although she can be a little scary and commanding sometimes she has a bright, spunky attitude. Zoe is always there for Cara and looks out for her. A character I don’t like is Alexis because she is an absolute bully, she is so rude to Cara. It’s so mean how she comes up with the nickname chocker for Cara after she choked on a carrot one day in the cafeteria. Choker is a mysterious, breathtaking thrilling book. Choker is an amazing book, it keeps you guessing till the very end and when you finish it you will be absolutely shocked.

WOW WOW WOW!!! Do yourself a favour and read this book. I absolutely guarantee you will NEVER guess the ending. I did find the very start a bit boring but it gets so much better as you go through the book. It is not a book for little kids at all as it does have very confronting parts of the book. It has the biggest twist at the end of the book, I have never read a book with an ending like that. It will leave you in shock! I rate it an 11/10 and recommend it for mature 12+

OMG!, Is my copy missing the last couple of chapters? This book was A-maz-ing, I couldn’t tear my eyes away from it. My journey with this book was a very emotional one, I swear in the space of five minutes I could go from laughing to gasping in horror. The way the author has set this book out kept me guessing and wondering. I was entertained through every word in this book and was always excited to keep reading. In parts my heart was beating as fast as a mouses and sometimes I felt I could just melt through the floor. This book has broadened my sights and I think I might start reading more horror books. Cara’s journey through out this book is, well, hard to describe. At the start of the book I felt sympathetic for Cara because she was getting bullied and she wasn’t really fitting in. Then when Zoe came Cara got a lot more confidence and she even started flirting. But not soon after things start happening around Cara, horrible things but things that seem to make Cara’s life easier. After a while Zoe seems to lose her best friendy touch and starts to act a bit weird, this makes Cara feel a bit pressured to kick Zoe out but she also doesn’t want to lose her best friend. When we find out the truth about Zoe Cara was painted in different colours. She is, in the simplest term, crazy. I don’t fully blame her though, she may have started seeing Zoe in the first place because she felt abandoned. Her parents weren’t exactly spending an abundance of time with her. Elizabeth Banks (the author of this book) has been able to capture to struggles of teenage life without sugar-coating it and doesn’t make anything seem better than it is. This isn’t a book for young kids because even before the first chapter begins it’s like a reality slap in the face. It shows that people do have problems and that things aren’t always okay. The description of this book has given me a clear picture in my head of what the people and places look like, and the story is very, very, intriguing.

Choker was amazing!! It had a mixture of both mystery, drama and thriller. It is the story of a girl called Cara and how her best friend from when she was little comes back to visit her. Cara hasn’t seen Zoe in 5 years and she wasn’t expecting this visit but is so excited to see Zoe she can’t even think. Following Zoe’s arrival a girl is murdered and another goes missing so Cara is starting to get a little bit suspicious. This book has you hanging on until the end with a big twist that you could never guess. I loved this book and would highly recommend it to anyboby who likes a bit of mystery.

Choker was an amazing book and right from the start I couldn’t put it down. Their were lots of twist and cliff hangers throughout the book that made you just want to keep reading and never put the book down.
Their were lots of unexpected events during that book that made the book really exciting and the book was really intense and scary which made you not want to put the book down even more. I really didn’t like Zoe and I didn’t think that Cara was that good either but although Sarit wasn’t really a main character I thought that she was a really nice person.
I think that a lot of the character were really weird but I thought that kind of added to the suspense of the book.
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a mystery book and suspense and someone over 11. It is a really good book.

Oh My Gosh! I can’t believe that it ended the way it did. That would’ve been the last thing I would of thought of. I think this is possibly the best book ever! I definitely recommend this for next year! All the characters have such amazing personalities and they are all different. Zoe! You would never think that she is who she is. Cara was my favourite character but now I think that my favourite character is Ethan because he so sweet and definitely not crazy! I wish the book just kept going on & on & on because at the start it wasn’t that interesting but as it got to the end it definitely changed. WOW. This book definitely shows what some people have inside of them. Overall this book was amazing and I just want to read it all over again.

What an amazing book! the ending is very unexpected, but when you look back on the book you can pick up the clues that the author sneakily intertwines into the book. Like the blue pills at the start, the reflection in the mirror looking the same and when Cara started thinking about Zoe and she came back.
I would have liked the ending to be different, because I didn’t like the way that Ethan was left feeling. I think that it would be better if Zoe ran away and was never seen again, and Ethan ad Cara got together. I also wish that the author had explained how the murders were committed in an epilogue or something, so that then the reader wasn’t left hanging with so many questions. But then my mind changes, and thinks that this is a good thing because then you can predict what will happen next and make up your own ending or way that Cara committed the crimes.

I loved this book it was so could it made you keep reading and reading. The ending was so unexpected I thought Zoe was real and
she killed them. I Think this book was really good because it made it so easy to keep reading it was so good how the author set out the book you do not expect the ending at ALL!!!!! I think this book would be Great for the year 7 next year (but just warn them their is ALOT of swearing) I have so many questions because of the ending like
how did Cara practice kissing if Zoe isn’t real?
How did Cara get her new hair cut and new look without Zoe being their?
Was she picking out her own clothes when she asked Zoe?
How come Cara only started imaging Zoe when she got out of the shower?
If Cara has mental issues how come her parents let her go to school because she could of killed every one at her school?
who was eating the breakfast when she went upstairs did Cara eat it or did it just go rotten?
I could continue for every but I wont
My favourite character was Zoe because she was always seemed weird she had something about her which I knew wasn’t right when she was introduced to the book why would she just be sitting on the bed when cara got out of the shower i thought that was always crazy if that was me who walked out of the shower and saw my friend who moved away i properly would of dropped my towel because i would of got a shock and ran for my life back into the bathroom and would and blocked the door so know one could get in.I thought their was something weird when they kissed in the barn ( as if you would kiss your best friend just to practice) well i would never do that. I thought it was a bit weird when Caras Mum and Dad both left when she was acting a bit weird they knew what was happing in Cara’s mind (Kill, Kill, Kill) if i was her parents i would never of left her and checked on her in her bedroom.
The last thing that i thought didn’t make any sense was that the whole time her parents didn’t ask have you heard from Zoe because if she was missing wouldn’t it go in the news, in news papers and everything.
If you love murder mysteries I think you would love this book

I love reading, it is like a second life made entirely up of my imagination! I have read many breathtaking, tear prone and hilarious books (mostly sci-fi and dystopian, maybe a little of romance and humour), but never one like Choker. Choker is a whole new terrain for me and I am already captivated when I have only read 8 chapters (about a quarter) of the book! As I said I am already intrigued and wanting to read more of this amazing, mysterious and complicated/sophisticated book! I’m really fond of this book because of the unexpected plots that occur each chapter. It is like you are going through a maze not knowing what is going to happen. Once you turn a corner it’s like BAM, then all of a sudden the most unexpected things happen! For example when Zoe runs away and comes to Cara, or when Sydney drowns in the pool! I don’t have a favourite part of the book but I can sort of relate to Cara because her parents aren’t around as much because of how busy they are and that’s the same with my dad and I’d really like it if we had more time together!
So far this is an extraordinary book and I am really enjoying it!

Choker is an amazing yet freaky book. Right from the start, I was intrigued to follow Cara’s chilling journey.
As a reader, I have been through an exciting journey, as if I have been on a thrilling roller-coaster. Once I got into the book, I started to want to read more. The very fact that a mysterious murder had occurred, intrigued me to read on. I just had find out what happened!
This book builds up suspense, pulling you in to read more. Throughout the entire book, swarms of theories flew around like bees in my head. I was hooked, and could not stop thinking about the mental journey Cara was going through, and her creepy friend Zoe. So much so, that as I neared the last chapter of the book, I wished there were more chapters left.
The ending of the book was the most electrifying part of the story. Never in a million years could I have predicted the outcome.
This book just oozes with creativity, suspense and a chilling storyline. Even so, I would rate it a 9/10, purely because some audiences may dislike the confronting concept of the book.

Choker by Elizabeth Woods is a shocking and thrilling book. At the start the book begins slow and I didn’t think I was going to like it. But as the book went on I could it harder and harder to put the book down. Choker is really unpredictable story. It always gets you to change your mind on what happens next, you can never guess what is going to happen. I knew this book would have an unexpected ending but I never thought it end the way it did. I thought there was going to be a small twist, but the ending was hugley unexpected. I would highly recommend this book for those who like a bit of mystery and an unexpected twist. But I would not recommend this book for people under the age of 10 or 11 or if they are easily scared.

This book is an amazing, thrilling and spooky book. It takes you through a creepy adventure that leaves you on the edge of your seat. Cara’s story is an emotional one full of a weird adventure she takes with her ‘friend’ Zoe. It was also a creepy adventure for her friends and her parents to experience with her. This book is full of creepy twists and always leaves you thinking and wanting more. This journey for Cara shaped her out to appear as a girl who is very unstable and crazy in the head. I have learnt to not judge something by its cover or not to jump to conclusions from this book ,and always keep an open mind. I would recommend this book to people who like creepy adventure books but even if people don’t I would still recommend it because it is an amazing book. I rate this book 4 ½ out of 5 stars.

Choker is one of my absolute all time favourite books !!!! It shows a real sense of mystery and drama. It leads you on in the book, to thinking a totally different conclusion to what actually happens. I love the secrecy of Zoe sudden appearances and disappearances. There is a chilling and sudden incident nearing the ending of the novel, that is quite confronting, so I would recommend this book towards 12 y-o & over. But over all it is such an amazing, well structured, creative story, and I would give it an absolute 10/10 !!!!!

Chocker Wow what a book. The start was a little boring but as I read on, the mysterious sections of the book started to hook me in and i couldn’t stop reading. The one thing i didn’t expect was the end of the book because it was so unexpected,but i didn’t realise it would be one this big. Some parts of the last few chapters were very descriptive. The part that i found took the twist was when Zoe had the cat draped over her shoulders, makeup applied to her face in a terrifying way and jewels all around her neck and arms. Cara started to a bit loopy after this scene and the conclusion of Alexis and Sydney’s deaths, Cara’s mental state and Zoe being back came to surface. I was pretty satisfied with the book and was left with no words to describe what the family and friends would’ve been thinking (this is me feeling for the people in the book)
I would recommended this book to anyone over the age of 12.
I would give this book a 4 out of 5

Chocker started off slowly and I didn’t think it was quite my cup of tea but as I read on, the mystery of the book started to come alive. I had so many questions and I was trying to pick up clues and read in between the lines along the way. The end of this book was so unexpected, I did predict a twist but not one this big. It was really surprising how everyone found out about Cara and her Zoe her imaginary friend. Some parts of the last few chapters were very descriptive, I can recall of one that produced a scary picture in my head and also my peers heads. This was the part when the book kind of took a turn, Zoe had the cat draped over her shoulders, makeup applied to her face in a terrifying way and jewels all around her neck and arms. Cara started to come crashing down after this scene and the conclusion of Alexis and Sydney’s deaths, Cara’s mental state and Zoe being back came to surface. I was pretty satisfied with the book and was left with no words to describe my feelings to how it ended, I was really speechless and I would recommended this book to anyone over the age of 12.

The book draws attention to the ups and downs of the girls friendship, but you never know what is going to happen next. Choker has a unexpected twist, that no one would have ever guessed which makes this book so enjoyable to read! The author of this book is very good at making the reader feel like a character in this book which allows you to feel connected to Cara and Zoe.
