Some teachers change the way you see the world. Mr. Terupt is one of those teachers.
It’s the start of a new year at Snow Hill School, and seven very different fifth-graders find themselves thrown together in one classroom. There’s Jessica, the new girl who can’t quite find her place. Alexia, the bully who’s your best friend one minute and your worst enemy the next. Peter, the prankster. Luke, the brain. Danielle, who never stands up for herself. Shy Anna, an outcast because of things she can’t control. And Jeffrey, who would rather be anywhere but school.
They don’t have much in common. They’ve never gotten along. Not until a certain new teacher arrives and helps them discover the strength inside themselves—and in each other.
And then something happens. A terrible accident leaves everything hanging in the balance, and these kids must remember the lessons Mr. Terupt taught them.
Told through the alternating voices of all seven students, this is the kind of story that sneaks up on you. You laugh. You worry. You feel for every single one of these kids by the final page. School Library Journal, in a starred review, called the characters authentic and praised the short, skillfully arranged chapters that keep readers moving toward a satisfying conclusion.
Perfect for readers ages 8 to 12, and the start of a beloved series that continues in Mr. Terupt Falls Again, Saving Mr. Terupt, and Goodbye, Mr. Terupt.
Cozy up, turn the page, and let this one find a place on your shelf. It’s a keeper.
