Features seven narrators, each with a unique story, and each with a different perspective on what makes their teacher so special.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.

when new rookie teacher mr. terupt arrives in school he lets everything slide. the flood in the bathroom, to triping the princable. but when a fattile accedent leaves a hole is mr. terrupt's skull the school wonders who is to blame for this incedent......i recomend this for ages 9-99 becasue it gets a little hard to handle with all of the characters

This book is one I want to reread all the time.It's a good book for people who like stories about problems and solving them.
At first it made me think of Wayside Stories with funny chapters from each kid's perspective, but then the issues got serious with all the boy trouble and girl drama. While there is a lot of foreshadowing, there is still a huge surprise when you find out about the tragedy. Be prepared to be shocked.
