I want to start this review by saying that as a parent, I really liked this book. It was well-written, fast-moving, and created enough curiosity to keep the pages moving well. However, since I bought the book for my 9-year-old, I'm going to add a few more points to my review.

The characters come from a wide variety of backgrounds, which I think is great. But I found some of situations to be a little heavy for what I want my nine-year-old reading just yet. Two of the characters have parents that have had divorces as a result of affairs (other girlfriends). One child was born when her mom was still in high school (maybe 16 or 17 years old, I don't quite recall). Though these situations are real - along with the sadness, grief, shame, and guilt that accompany them - I don't think I'm ready for that to take up space in my daughter's leisure reading time yet.

I realize that this is probably a more accurate reflection of society than I would hope, but those are a couple of things I would have wanted to know *before* my child read this book, so that I could have the chance to either 1) hold off for a while on introducing this book or 2) read it as a read-aloud so we could discuss these topics right then. As it happened, I was so intruiged by the book, I ended up reading it before I passed it on to her -- so for me, the problem was avoided.

I'm definitely sticking the book on the shelf for a year or two though, and plan to bring it out later. It was an excellent read with many good examples of good and bad behavior, and characters changing (an excellent life skill to learn!). I just think the nine side of the 9-12 age range was a little low, even if reading ability was considerably higher.

Because of Mr Terupt Rob Buyea 9780385738828 Books Reviews

The start of fifth grade brings new teacher Mr Terupt and the students whose life he enriches by opening their world. He helps his students become better versions of themselves.

BECAUSE OF MR TERUPT is a delightful story that will appeal to most middle grade readers. Teacher Rob Buyea wrote the story in multiple points of view of different students, the new girl, the bully, the shy girl, the smart kid, the angry kid, the class clown and the girl who’s mom has a bad reputation. Readers will see themselves in one or more characters, each has a backstory that enhances readers’ understanding of the person.

BECAUSE OF MR TERUPT is a great book for middle grade readers and will appeal to boys and girls.

A journey of classmates that stay strong together

This book is so great it grabbed my attention right as my eyes met the page and there were many life lessons never to end. Mr. Terupts fifth grade class goes through an emotional rollercoaster that seems to never end, but they get through it by staying strong, having courage, and being true to themselves and others. It has emotional times to make you connect, it has funny times to keep you interested, and is hard to put down so you will never get bored or want to stop reading. In the end, we learn about dealing with pain more than anything.

This story takes place in modern time. There are many main characters that tell the story in different parts. All the kids in the book are entering the fifth grade with a new teacher, Mr. Terupt. Everyone isn’t so sure about him in the beginning of the year, but soon realize that he is a really nice guy with a great sense of humor. Everything is going amazing for most people until something horrible happens and the kids have to try and find ways to help themselves get through this tough situation as a team.

At one point in the story, Danielle, one of the main characters, felt very self conscious of her weight and is doing her part in the book saying how no one likes her. The text says,” The only time I’ve got friends is when I’m in Lexie’s group. Nobody wants to be friends with the fat kid. I don’t know what to do.” This was very sad because she really cares about what others think and is always pushing herself down. Another emotional time in the story is when a character named Jeffrey was having a tough time with the tough situation because someone in his family had had that happen to them too. The text states,” I’d like to see Terupt, but I can’t visit him. I can’t do it. Luke told me it was scary. I know.” [...] This sucks. School sucks. Everything sucks. It was better when I didn’t care.” This is extremely emotional because he has gone through something like this and now has to go through it again. Imagine having to go through something as deep and emotional like this. This book is very emotional.

Other than all of the sad moments in this book, there are some times that can be funny. For example when a very main character, Peter, was trying to skip class by using the pass all the time but Mr. T wasn’t getting fooled. The text says,” If the bathroom pass is free, all you have to do is take it and go.” [...] “I take the pass all the time and the teachers never notice.” [..] “When I came back into the classroom after my fourth or fifth trip, Mr. Terupt said, ‘Boy, Peter, I’m gonna have to call you Mr. Peebody, or better yet, Peter the Pee-er. You do more peein’ than a dog walking by a mile of fire hydrants.’ Everybody laughed. I was wrong. He had noticed.” This was funny because it was the first time the teacher had made a joke. The text also says,” Luke mixed his junk together and it started smoking. The next thing we knew, the stupid fire alarm was going off. The whole school had to go outside and even the fire department showed up. It was great!” This was funny because Peter was acting like he was pretty mad about the whole thing but then said it was great. This book can be very funny.

And , the book also is really hard to put down. One part in the story when all the kids were talking about times with their teacher and waiting to get the news about the teacher from the doctor. The text says,” The microphone moved around our square, and we shared different stories and memories. It was perfect. Then a doctor came into the waiting room.” This part made it really hard to put down the book because I had no idea what would happen. I just had to keep reading to find out what was going to happen. Another time in the story was when Mr. Terupt had just gotten back and Peter didn’t want to see him because he thought he would be mad at him. The text states,” Out of nowhere I heard screams. ‘Mr. Terupt!’ Everyone around me jumped up and ran toward the door. I couldn’t believe it. Mr. T was back. I started crying. [...] I stayed in my seat, trying to look small. But he spotted me. The room grew quiet as Mr. T walked toward me. I was scared again.” I couldn’t put the book down at this part because I was so excited about what was happening and what was about to happen. This book was super hard to put down.

Through all of this, the children learn to deal with the fear of losing someone they love and the stress of it all. We learn that to deal with these types of struggles, you really just have to keep moving on and don’t be afraid. I definitely give this book 5 out of 5 stars. You have to read this book!
This book is sooo good!! Realistic characters, (teachers, parents, and kids alike) awesome story line, awesome ending, great details and emotions. Overall this is one of the best books I've ever read!!! And I've read a lot of books so that's saying a lot. I just got this book yesterday afternoon and finished it at 730 pm the next day. It is summer though, so I guess that counts for something. But seriously I'm gonna go buy the second because it's just that good. All the people that said it was bad, don't listen to them. I mean if you don't know about bullies, divorce, and teenage pregnancy, then okay this book is above you. But what 11-14 yr old doesn't know about that stuff?? Anyways, I'm 13 and obviously loved this book. Oh and don't get me wrong none of the kids in this book are pregnant, it's their parents who do that stuff but trust me they talk about it like once. Oh btw if you liked this book, then you will love any of the books by Wendy Mass. She's a great author, and her books are sort of like this. D
