The book Killing Mr. Griffin is about a group of 5 students who are fed up with their English teacher Mr. Griffin. The meanest teacher in the whole school. It all started with Mark. Crazy old Mark decided to take action. Jeff, Marks best friend, of course agreed with him. And then there was Betsy. The popular girl, who just had to get involved with them in whatever they did. And who could forget the goody-good class president, David. Who never got into any kind of trouble. David was talked into the idea by Mark as well. Finally there was Susan. The A’ student know it all nerd. Who really didn’t fit in with the others. She was the odd one. But they needed her. And what was she supposed to do, when the most popular kid asked her to do something for him. So that’s how they all got together, in their plan to kidnap Mr. Griffin.

With Griffin blindfolded they brought him to a secluded place, hidden from the innocent people in their innocent town. They tried to put in a scare into the old man but he wouldn’t do what Mark told him to. And as one thing led to another poor Mr. Griffin was left there stranded, in the middle of the night, alone, without his needed medication because Mark decided to take it away. And David stole their teacher's ring. He didn't know why but he took it. So they left. Because that's what Mark said they should do. And when the kids returned he was gone, dead. They killed their teacher. They were murderers.

Mark always knew what to do; never panicking he always had an answer. It was like he was in charge, they all listened to him. So he decided to bury him, put his car in the airport, and never speak of what happened again. As the days passed Mark found out about the ring David had stole and went to Davis's house to retrieve it. Mark paid a little visit to David's grandmother... The old woman had the ring and wouldn't give it up to Mark. Mark started to suspect that Susan couldn't keep her mouth shut. And after Susan found out that Mark was responsible for the death of David's grandmother, Mark had to do something about Susan. And sure enough he attempted to kill her. As it turned out the kids were caught when Susan's house was reported on fire. Only Mark went to jail for the murder of their teacher and David Ruggle's grandmother. The others were let off because the were persuaded by Mark to do what he wanted them to do.
