About book The Crimes And Punishments Of Miss Payne (2005)

My book is maybe the weirdest book I have ever read. This story takes place in a high school, in a class of 10th graders; just like me. There's 3 main characters, Miss Payne, Calma, and Kiffo. These characters are always getting in trouble with one another. Main ideas that occur in this story is that one of the students, Kiffo; he is a really big show off he always tries to be the biggest ignorant person in class. One time, they had a official teacher and Kiffo had a football in his hand and ended up throwing the ball at her face. All because she told him to do his work. So with this being said thats why Miss Payne is the new teacher. He doesn't like her because she is a pain like he describes her. Calma is another student that kind of changes a lot in class, shes a good student but has a hidden attitude. She likes Kiffo even through she doesn't want to admit it. She's the narrator of the story. They both get lots of detention while being in that class. Basically, they just dislike the fact that they get in lots of trouble because Miss Payne is a very strict teacher. I'm just going to get to the end of the book already. These kids wanted to figure out why she was like this. So they went to her home, sneaked in and just saw all these different weird conversations they were having they just couldn't explain. One time, Kiffo was at his house home alone and the phone lines cut off he got scared. They later found out she was sneaking up on them. So the kids felt as through they couldn't do anything anymore. They respected her so much because she got scary. I actually like this book. Its pretty funny and all over the place. Makes me laugh here and then. What surprises me about this book is that it curses here and then and its pretty funny. I like everything about this book no dislikes. I actually would recommend this book to anymore who likes to read. It's a good way for people to learn how to read and focus on different topics.

Do You like book The Crimes And Punishments Of Miss Payne (2005)?

If sarcastic humor fed by an incredible wit us up your ally, than you're going to love Calma Harrison. With a skill for English that might surpass that of some of her teachers, and a flair for blunt truth, this girl will have you laughing almost instantly and incessantly, as she delves into her tales of life, Kiffo, and the Pitbull.Arriving at school after her predecessor was driven out by various forms of emotional torture, Miss Payne presents a picture that lives up to her name, and an attitude to match. Or does she? At first cold and seemingly cruel, she eventually has her students laughing and smiling as they learn. Except, that is, for Calma and Kiffo, who are instead lost in a world of paranoia and suspicion, sure that Miss Payne is up to no good. We follow along on their adventures and mishaps as they struggle to learn the truth of the teacher that can't be tamed, learning valuable lessons of life and friendship and self along the way.
