Kelly, a young girl has to deal w/ her loving teachers death

This book is about a young girl named Kelly who is unable to beleive that her loving teacher is dead. Kelly is an only child and lives with her mother and step-dad, Doug. Doug is abusive to Kelly's mother and one day hits Kelly. Although Kelly's mother is a cop she is somewhat afraid of Doug. Kelly's teacher Mrs. Hanson is not only her teacher but one of her best friends. Kelly's mother is also a little jelous of Mrs. Hanson. After the teachers' death a young, beautiful, attractive woman comes to Kelly's school to teach. Kelly is the only one that finds Ms. Anders "weird." All the males are daised and in love with this woman, she seems to want something from them. Kelly is a very brave and strong girl who discovers that the Mrs. Hanson's death was not an accident, but something more! Kelly is not willing to give up, she will do anything to find out how Mrs. Hanson died. Overall the book was really interesting and fun to read. Though the begining is not very interesting, I think the end gets better. At the end of the book there is a big surprise to the reader. I would recomend this book for anyone but a person who enjoys horror books might enjoy this book. I might compare this book to "Dying To Know," which is also a horror book.

Gripping!

I borrowed this book from my friend. At frst I didn't really want to read it, but I started it anyways. I loved it! But if you are one of those people who has to be drawn in right away, this book is probably not for you.
