Because of Mr.Terupt

This was one of my summer reads.  It was recommended to me by a friend and colleague of mine.  She teaches 4th grade and she read this book with her class as well as wrote the author a letter and received a letter back from Rob Buyea.  She is also in the works of scheduling a visit from Mr. Buyea to our school this year so I wanted to be prepared and read the book.  The book is about a new 5th grade teacher at Snow Hill School and follows the perspective of 7 students through their trials, tribulations, and triumphs of their home lives and school experiences.  It is very sweet and heartfelt and as a reader you begin to love Mr. Terupts patience, love, and resilient character.  The book is 288 pages and appropriate for intermediate grade students.
