Have you ever had a
teacher you really liked suffer a bad incident?
Because of Mr. Terupt is a book by Rob
Buyea set at a school in Connecticut. Fifth grade has started at Snow Hill
School, and seven students find themselves in Mr. Terupt’s class: Peter,
Jessica, Luke, Alexia, Jeffrey, Danielle, and Anna. They don’t have a lot in
common and have not ever really gotten along. Not until a new teacher, Mr.
Terupt arrives, and teaches them valuable lessons that change their lives. But
one day, Mr. Terupt suffers a horrible accident. Can the students look back at
his lessons and keep living their lives normally, or will they forget about
what they learned at the beginning of fifth grade and go back to the way they
were before Mr. Terupt?
One reason I liked this
book so much was because there were constantly interesting events and page
turners. Whenever I thought one event was the climax, there was always another
situation that outdid the previous one and made me want to keep discovering what
else the book had in store. In this book, each character had at least one major
conflict or struggle, and by the end, he or she had resolutions that wrapped up
the storyline.
Another reason I really
enjoyed this book was because the characters had great personalities. There are
seven characters, and each one has a different nature. Some get in trouble,
some are quiet and shy, and some are loud and bossy. Because of this, you can
definitely relate to their problems and lives.
This book was one of the
best books I’ve read, and I couldn’t stop reading it. It is a satisfying read
for people who like realistic fiction and relatable books. This book is part of
a three-book series, and both sequels: Mr.
Terupt Falls Again, and Saving Mr.
Terupt are just as good. I would give this book an 11 out of 10 if I could!
Yearling, 268 pages
