Irony: A teacher in my school district wants to ban this book because, well, it's about a plot to kill a teacher! 😱 Has she read the book? No. 🙄
Another teacher reference: If you've never seen this 1988 McDonald's commercial, you should. Have kleenex nearby.

so-soMr. Griffin is a strict English teacher at Del Norte high school who often humiliates his students when their work is not up to his expectations. When a group of students set out to teach their malicious teacher a lesson, things go terribly wrong…

In my snooping I learnt that apparently this is a banned book! I actually think it spot lights for people how easily it is to be manipulated and stop & think a bit more! 🤔
Lois has gripped me yet again!
But come on! Give us the “true” dad answer!😩😂

How did you choose this book: I found it in the library when looking for a book to read
Summary of the novel: A group of teenagers plan to get revenge on their strict english teacher. Their plans go wrong, leading them into greater problems. They try to cover up their tracks, but eventually get caught, and have to face the consequences of their actions.
pickThis was a little reminiscent of We Need to talk about Kevin in some ways with some twisted teens. A plan to kidnap a teacher goes awry and sinister. Definitely kept me interested and curious.
pickI'd say this was between a pick and a so-so. It was originally published in 1978 and was updated for our current time, which I believe was a mistake as there were inconsistencies. It was otherwise a good teen psychopath story. 🤤😉

1. I remember being so scared reading the tagged book above as a teenager. Now I stick with psychological thrillers that scare me more about people than truly scare me. 2. The Sixth Sense- yes I realize most people don‘t consider this a scary movie but I had nightmares for months after watching 3. Apple Cider and Football 4. Wasn‘t super hyped on Girl On The Train
pickThis was a quick and good read. It was touching to read how misguided perceptions can ruin lives. Alas, poor Mr Griffin. :(
Getting comfy on the sofa while it's face-numbingly cold outside. I still need to read up on the whole Hygge thing, but I suppose this comes close already. 😊📚🛋☕️
pickSo I vaguely remember seeing this movie and it was ehh. Years later realized it was a book I read in my formative years and that it deserved a reread. Not so much fun. These kids were truly disastrous. Instead of studying hard, they instead decide to scare their English teacher. You can see my original review on good reads if you are interested. Themes still hold today. #octphotochallenge #disasterouskids
so-soIt's a different experience reading this as an adult but it still works in some ways, especially the last few chapters. RIP Lois Duncan
One of the authors who fed my insatiable hunger for reading as a young child--and one of the reasons I still remain hungry for more. #riploisduncan
