Until popular English teacher Mr. Chippendale is shot while taking his morning run around the school track. As the Tower High community struggles to come to grips with the shocking murder, you'll get to know the students and faculty members whose lives Mr. Chippendale touched: Cynthia Arroyo, the aspiring writer who was encouraged by Mr. Chippendale; Angela Falcone, Tower's guidance counselor and Mr. Chippendale's ex-girlfriend; John Bellerus, the student who failed Mr. Chippendale's class and is glad to see his teacher dead; and many others. This series of inter-?ocking free-verse poems reveals the inner thoughts of Tower High's students and faculty, their feelings about their own lives, and ultimately the answer to the burning question -- Who killed Mr. Chippendale, and why?
