Because of Mr. Terupt
Seven students are about to have their lives changed by one amazing teacher in this school story sequel filled with unique characters every reader can relate to.
It’s the start of a new year at Snow Hill School, and seven students find themselves thrown together in Mr. Terupt’s fifth grade class. There’s . . . Jessica, the new girl, smart and perceptive, who’s having a hard time fitting in; Alexia, a bully, your friend one second, your enemy the next; Peter, class prankster and troublemaker; Luke, the brain; Danielle, who never stands up for herself; shy Anna, whose home situation makes her an outcast; and Jeffrey, who hates school.
They don’t have much in common, and they’ve never gotten along. Not until a certain new teacher arrives and helps them to find strength inside themselves—and in each other. But when Mr. Terupt suffers a terrible accident, will his students be able to remember the lessons he taught them? Or will their lives go back to the way they were before—before fifth grade and before Mr. Terupt?

Yep! This is a feel-good story!! Writing this review is difficult because I am speechless, wiping tears away as they stream down my face. Wow...just wow! Everyone deserves a teachers like Mr. Terupt! :)
UPDATE: I decided to read this book again in order to read the entire series at once and it hit me just as hard the second time! Now being a teacher myself, I hope that I have even half of the kind of influence that Mr. Terupt had for his students. I love how Buyea wrote this book. Each different student tells the story in their own way but the narrative keeps flowing even with each change. And we really get to hear each individual voice as Buyea writes each chapter so differently. Four years ago, I said that everyone needed a teacher like this and I stand by that statement. I think this should be a required read for every 5th or 6th grader. Tough times happen and school may not be everyone's favorite place but with the right attitude, help from others, and encouragement, you can get through anything. Can't wait to read the rest of the series!!
