We will be reading "Killing Mr. Griffin" by Lois Duncan. Please review this advisory provided by commonsensemedia.org: 

"Parents need to know that this book examines what harm can happen when kids submit to peer pressure. They commit a crime and suffer the consequences. The book builds psychologically and kids will feel increasingly challenged as the action spins out of control. This is a powerful look at the rule of the mob and the importance (and difficulty) of following your own inner sense of right and wrong."

There is also some mild profanity, mention of mental illness, and a brief mention of drug use.
