New book review!
The book Killing Mr. Griffin
by Lois Duncan is a story full of mind twisting unexpected events that will
keep you guessing with every turn of a page. This book is about a group of high
school students that have a rotten English teacher named Mr. Griffin. The
students came up with a plan one day to play a little trick and kidnap their
awful English teacher. This plan all of the sudden takes a drastic turn for the
worse when they find out that Mr. Griffin has a mysterious medical condition.
The students have to scramble in order to cover up there tracks and do whatever
it takes not to get caught for their accidental crime. The books strengths are
that there are many good and rich details that keep you guessing on how the story is going to end. Another strength of the
book is how well the author develops the characters and their unspoken daily
lives. One weakness of the book is the very indistinct resolution. The book
ends with the reader asking many questions. This was one of the very best books
I read because of the high level suspense and mystery. It also has a very good
theme by teaching young readers not to make bad decisions just because you want
to fit in. I would recommend this book to young teens that enjoy mystery and
action books. I hope you consider reading Killing Mr. Griffin by Lois
Duncan.
