Thrillers
by Steve Rhodes

Question by Summer:

Does anybody have good recommendations for high school thrillers?





I'm looking for thrillers that take place in high school, like Nancy Holder's Pretty Little Devils, for example. It was like a crossover of Mean Girls and I Know What You Did Last Summer. I loved it and want to read other similar stories. Any recommendations? Much thanks!

Answer by Bookworm
Have you read "Killing Mr. Griffin" by Lois Duncan? It's a very good book about a group of high school seniors that decide to kidnap one of their teachers. They only want to scare him a little because they dislike him and his teaching methods so much but their plans go awry. Amazon has the book for sale with used copies starting at .78: http://www.amazon.com/Killing-Mr-Griffin-Lois-Duncan/dp/0316195499

Also by Lois Duncan is another high school thriller called "Daughters of Eve". It's about a high school club for girls that's led by one of the school's teachers. The club has good intentions at first (befriending lonely girls, raising money for school projects) but the teacher who leads the club has a twisted perspective on things and people, especially men. She leads the girls in the club down a dark and dangerous path. It's very good as well and also available at Amazon; new copies are at .99: http://www.amazon.com/Daughters-Eve-Lois-Duncan/dp/0440918642
