The story killing Mr. Griffin by Lois Duncan focuses on a classroom with a group of students who don’t want to work for their grade. Mr. Griffin is a very strict teacher with many expectations like turning in assignments on time, speaking only once spoken to, and good is never enough for him. His students dislike him for being a strict teacher and not giving second opportunities for missing assignments. Students often gather during lunch and complain on how some received a lower grade than others. They also mentioned a former student named Mark that had to plead Mr. Griffin to re-write the assignment, but this was not the end of it. Mark always hated Mr. Griffin and now that he feels humiliated he has plans against Mr. Griffin. Mark gathered a group of classmates Betsy, David, and Sue and mentioned his plan on taking Mr. Griffin hostage and makes him plead for his freedom. Little did they know that there plan will come with a surprise. Would this help shape up Mr. Griffins attitude toward his students? Or what kind of surprise will these students receive? I would recommend this book for those students who are interested in mysterious stories. I myself did not enjoy this book for the reason that it took a long amount of time to get to the main parts. In the beginning there is introduction on all the students and how Mr. Griffin’s class functioned. I disagreed with the plan against Griffin because I personally believe teachers ought to be strict. The ending was not delightful and it left me with the thought if the students ever spoke about what had truly happened. Therefore, this book is for students who like to be left with a ambiguous ending.
