Because of Mr. Terupt

Features seven narrators, each with a unique story, and each with a different perspectiveÂ on what makes their teacher so special.

Itâ€™s the start of fifth grade for seven kids at Snow Hill School. Thereâ€™s . . . Jessica, the new girl, smart and perceptive, whoâ€™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.
Â
Only Mr. Terupt, their new and energetic teacher, seems to know how to deal with them all. He makes the classroom a fun place, even if he doesnâ€™t let them get away with much . . . until the snowy winter day when an accident changes everythingâ€”and everyone.
