The book I read was about an English teacher and his students. This teacher had a reputation of being very mean and picky about the work that he receives. In his class no one gets Aís, because too him A's mean perfect, and no one here is perfect.

A group of Mr. Griffinís students Decide they are going to teach HIM a lesson. They kidnap him and take him to an unknown trail which leads to a cabin.

When they reached the cabin, the kids tried to make Mr. Griffin beg for mercy, but he was just to stubborn. They started to threat, even though were not going to actually do it. He still would not beg for mercy. Then they tried telling them that there were lots of people there, practically every student that would like to get back at him. Mr. Griffin still did not buy it.

It started to get late, and every one was getting cold, tired and hungry. Every one agreed that he was not going to beg, so they decided to leave and come back around midnight and see if he has changed his mind.

Two of the students decide to go back early, but only to find Mr. Griffin DEAD.
