Everyone
has a teacher they didn’t like; one who is mean and unfair—and even
ugly. Think of that teacher and magnify him or her about ten times
and you will understand just how awful Miss Payne is. She criticizes
students and picks someone new everyday to torture. So when Kiffo
and Calma devise a plan to get rid of her, they feel justified in
their actions. They discover she meets strangers in the wee hours
of the morning and they are convinced she is dealing drugs. But
when tragedy strikes, the truth comes out—and those involved are
changed forever.
