Debut author Rob Buyea has written an insightful and kid-friendly middle-grade novel in which seven fifth-graders narrate how a new teacher--and a nearly fatal accident--changes their lives. Will appeal to boys and girls, as well as reluctant readers.

Seven

students are about to have their lives changed by one amazing teacher in this

school storysequel 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!
