So when Dave asks Susan to help a group of students teach Mr. Griffin a lesson of their own, she goes along with them. After all, it's a harmless prank, right?

Ratings and reviews

Years ago when I was in high school this was my summer book. I really liked it. They went into detail about things but it didn't make it Borning. Good book

Students and teachers alike can breathe safe knowing that if any of their peers try to kill them, they will get caught and die in jail. Of course, somebody's gotta die, but totally, they'll get caught. Meet the heroine, she likes a guy and the guy has some friends. The friends are bad, and use the fact that she likes a guy to get what they want. And they do, until they get caught. Man, peer pressure, right?

My fav part has to be when everybody finds out that mr griffin is dead that is my fav part
