Killing Mr. Griffin by
Lois Duncan(
)
12 editions published between 1997 and 2011 in English and held by 756 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Mr. Griffin is the least-liked teacher at Del Norte High School. It's not just because he is the toughest grader in the school, or won't accept late work for any reason. He even fails seniors and makes them beg to get back in his class ... the next year. This time, he's humiliated the wrong students. When a group of classmates decide to kidnap him, the plan is only to scare their English teacher--to make him grovel and give him a taste of his own medicine. They don't intend to kill Mr. Griffin. But sometimes plans go horribly wrong

The boys' war : Confederate and Union soldiers talk about the Civil War by
Jim Murphy(
)
8 editions published between 1999 and 2015 in English and held by 539 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
We all know about the famous generals and the major battles of the Civil War. But for the soldiers who actually fought, the war was all too real. It was especially traumatic for the thousands of soldiers who ranged in age from 10 to 15. Some young soldiers joined the fray to escape the boredom of farm work or to "set the South straight." Many of them kept diaries and wrote letters home. Through their eyes, we see what life was like on the edge of chaos. Some of their writing describes the gruesome details of forced marches and deaths on the battlefield. Balanced with anecdotes of practical jokes they played on one another and interesting people they met, their stories touch our minds and hearts. Ed Sala's interpretation of this well-documented history brings the Civil War to life in a way that few historians could. These everyday details of the war, told in the straightforward language of the young, provide a moving, unforgettable history lesson
