Because of Mr. Terupt

Transformative teacher unites diverse fifth-grade students.

"Because of Mr. Terupt" dives deep into the dynamics of a classroom where every child has a distinct story, creating a tapestry of authentic experiences. If you've ever had that one teacher who made a lasting impression, this book captures that magic. Witnessing the characters grow and come together under Mr. Terupt's guidance is both heartwarming and powerful. It's a reminder of how one person's influence can ripple through lives, and it will resonate particularly with anyone who cherishes the impact of good educators.

Description

Features seven narrators, each with a unique story, and each with a different perspective on what makes their teacher so special. It’s the start of fifth grade for seven kids at Snow Hill School. 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. 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 doesn’t let them get away with much . . . until the snowy winter day when an accident changes everything—and everyone.
