Killing Mr Griffin

I read the book Killing Mr. Griffin, by Lois Duncan. There was an English

teacher, Mr. Griffin, which nobody liked. He was a tough teacher, and didn’t give anyone an A. Not even the smartest student, Susan McConnell. They disliked him so much that they wanted to try and scare him by kidnapping him.

One day after school, Mark told his friends his idea of what to do to take

care of Mr. Griffin. He decided that they should threaten to kill him so he

would give them better grades but not actually kill him. After some convincing,

all Mark’s friends agreed to his plan.

Then they carried out their plan and got Mr. Griffin where they wanted him. They left him all alone and tied up in the mountains. Susan and David were worried about Mr. Griffin, so after a couple of hours they just went to check on him. But when they got there, they found and realized that Mr. Griffin was dead! They panicked, and didn’t know what to do. They went back and told the others.

They all promised each other that they wouldn’t tell anyone what

had happened. Now they had to cover up all the evidence that my lead to them.

Mark was willing to do anything to do that!

After a few days, Mr. Griffin’s disappearance was on the news. Of coarse,

no one knew where Mr. Griffin really was, and what had actually happened to him. It was hard for them to keep it in. They all felt so bad, except for Mark.

Mark was the leader of this plan,
