# Because of Mr. Terupt - Hardcover

by **Rob Buyea** (Author)

**Seven students are about to have their lives changed by one amazing teacher in this school story sequel 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 Journa_l, Starred
