Mr. Terupt, Book 1

By: Rob Buyea

Narrated by: Arielle DeLisle, Mike Chamberlain

Seven students are about to have their lives changed by one amazing teacher in this school story sequel filled with unique characters to whom every listener can relate.

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 Journal, starred)

The Comedy and the plot

It was a great book one of the best ive ever read i would definitely recommend it to friends and family. Great for kids and classroms

Great book to read in class

This year, my teacher decided to read this book to my 5th grade
Class, I had already read it in 4th and it was amazing to read (twice) and once we got to the ‘r’ word wich in 4th I merely did not understand it was a bad word. so this year my teacher explaind, what it ment and why it was terrible to call some one that and anytime further in the book we just skipped over it, the only reason it was in the was beacuse it was told from the perspective of a kid who never got that explanation, like our class did. Audio book narrator AMAZUNG.

Fabulous read

My daughter loved the multiple character stories and could relate to the story. We can’t wait to listen to the next book!

Outstanding

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.

Amazing

Beautiful story line so many twists and amazing definitely recommend for middle schoolers! Great job!
