Series: Mr. Terupt

Meet seven kids and one amazing teacher and discover the school year that changes their lives in this first book in the fun and warm-hearted Mr. Terupt series!

Seven

students are about to have their lives changed by one amazing teacher in this

school storysequel 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?

Find out what happens in sixth and seventh grades in Mr. Terupt Falls Again and Saving Mr. Terupt. And don't miss

the conclusion to the series, Goodbye, Mr. Terupt, coming soon!

""The characters are authentic and the short chapters are skillfully arranged to keep readers

moving headlong toward the satisfying conclusion.""--School Library
