Dear readers,
This is my first book review, so I’d love your thoughts.
Goodreads Summary: 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.
My Thoughts: Because of Mr. Terupt is a great book. It is about a teacher that a lot of kids really love. Seven of the kids in the class give their perspectives about how the teacher changed their lives. There is a big thing that happens in the middle of the book, but it is a spoiler, so I won’t tell you. My favorite character was Peter because he changes a lot during the book. In the beginning of the book it seems like he’s not a great kid, but he gets better. I think the age range for this book is 8-12. I highly recommend this book because it kept my interest from cover to cover.
**Thanks so much, Henry!**
