A very good book I read this year was Killing Mr.Griffin. Itís about

a high school English teacher who is hard on the kids grades. Some of the kids in his English class were really mad, because most of the kids in his class were seniors so if they failed they wouldnít graduate. They decided

to play a little joke and kidnapped him. They brought him to a place in the woods so they could tell him how they felt. Mr. Griffin was tied up and blindfolded. After chatting with him for a long time, they decided to leave

him there to think things out. Two of the main characters came back

because they felt horrible. When they reached Mr. Griffin, they were startled to see that he was dead. After finding him dead the real mystery

begins.

This book has many action scenes, but the best one is kidnapping

Mr. Griffin. The feelings of the characters were described well, I thought.

The author seemed like she was the character explaining her feelings.

This book was very interesting. I liked it because it was about an English teacher getting kidnapped and mysteriously dying. The title of the book really caught my eye. I choose this book as my favorite because

It was a mystery book and because I like the author, Lois Duncan. Iíve read most of her books.

This book was great and I would recommend this book to anyone who likes mysteries as much as I do. I would like to read this book again in my free time or any time.
