My Book: Killing Mr. Griffin
The book Killing Mr. Griffin is really great because it has some mystery and suspense in it. This book is already really good to read and it even sounds like a good book when you read the cover. There are a lot of characters that it is hard to know which one of them is the main character. One of the characters (whose name is Susan McConnell) knows that someday she is going to be rich and live in house on the beach near the ocean escaping her normal life of noise and boredom. All she would hear is the peaceful ocean breeze and she would smell the scent of fresh saltwater. But sadly that day isn't there yet. She has to live her annoying brothers and go to a school whose english teacher is mean to everyone. To me Susan is one of those people who just want to run away from their everyday life and live somewhere so they can be free and I like that about her cause sometimes I want to do that. Another character in this book is every girls dream. His name is David Ruggles and he is on the basketball team. That is cool because I love basketball. He is smart and popular at the same time and every girl in the school (including Susan) is nuts over him. Other students in the story are trouble makers named Betsy Cline, Jeff Garrett, and Mark KinneyLean. They all got angry at their english teacher Mr. Griffin for giving them a bad grade for not turning in their homework. They couldn't cause they were all at a game the day before. Jeff started to argue with Mr. Griffin and after the argument Jeff whispered to Mark "That Griffin's the sort of guy you'd like to kill." Then when school was over Mark kept trying to talk Betsy and Jeff in scaring Mr. Griffin by thinking that he was kidnapped. Finally they said yes they would do it. This part helps lead to predictions.Like they could the people who kill him. This is mysterious book and I like to challenge myself with a mystery.
