Review: Because of Mr. Terupt

Because of Mr. Terupt by Rob Buyea
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I waited entirely too long to read this book. I have heard so many great things about it, but it always got pushed aside. Mr. Terupt, a brand new teacher, and his class of 5th graders are chronicled throughout the school year. Told from multiple perspectives of male and female students who are struggling with interpersonal relationships. Mr. Terupt is the type of teacher who lets things happen and wants students to learn by their mistakes. With a shocking twist during the book, these students will grow more than ever. There is too much to write about without ruining the book, but I believe this should be a required reading of elementary students.
