Summary: Better Than 'Killing Mr. Griffin'
Review: One of the many of Louis Duncan's thrilling books, Killing Mr. Griffin, tells about some seniors and their hate for their crabby teacher. They hated Mr. Griffin so much they kidnapped him for a night to teach him a lesson. How could something as simple as kidnapping a teacher for one night turn into something so horrible? To make matters worse they even lured in an innocent junior because they knew she would take part to impress a guy who was also doing it. After the terrible night things just kept getting worse. The end struck me as a surprise, and I really liked it.
Some other great books by Lois Duncan are Summer of Fear, Don't Look Behind You, They Never Came Home, and I Know What You Did Last Summer. If you have read any of these books and enjoyed them you are bound to enjoy Killing Mr. Griffin. I especially think Summer of Fear is a great read.
Teaching Mrs. Tingle is a movie that is based on the same thing as this book. I like the book more though because the ending in better and more exciting. If you have seen this movie and liked it I definitely suggest this book. Even if you didn't like the movie I still suggest the book because I think its better than the movie. If you want a thrilling, scary, exciting book with a twisted ending, you should definitely read this book.

Summary: A Prank Gone Too Far!
Review: This is a scary novel in light of Columbine and other tragedies. A university teacher, tired of the poor students he is receiving, decides that the only way to make a difference is to try to mold them in high school. The only problem is that he is a perfectionist, thinking that super-discipline will mold his students into great college material. He doesn't think for one minute that his methods would work in the military but not with teenagers.The students see Mr. Griffin as a heartless and mean person that will ruin their chance to graduate and get into a good college. Everything seems to come to a head when one student has a homework paper blown away by the wind and tells Mr. Griffen so, saying that he will redo the paper. Mr. Griffen has absolutely no sympathy and he just tells the student that he will not accept a late paper, thus the student will fail. Several members of the class get together and decide that the only way to get Mr. Griffin to change his way is to scare him. To do this, they will kidnap him and only let him go when he is really scarred. Unfortunately nothing goes as planned. Mr. Griffin is not scarred and maybe not such a bad guy after all. The students carry the prank on too long and unfortunately Mr. Griffin dies. They now have to deal with what they did and realize too late that it wasn't a good idea. This book should be read by young teens to make them think about their actions before they do it. A lot of hazings and other things that teens may think are fun, sometimes have serious consequences. Adults will also enjoy this very well written book!
