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.

this was a great book to read!!! It's very well written and my sister cried all night when she read it and i got a little teary-eyed too.

this book is so good me and my friend read it together and cried

I really love this book!!!!!!!! It tells the story in different views. Like, when a girl named Alexia was really mean to everyone else in her group project, Mr. Terupt was mad at her and took her out of the class to speak with her. Everyone, even Alexia, told their side of the story of what happened. It's a crazy but interesting and fun book to read. I love this book so far!!!!

This book is AWESOME!! I recomend it to anyone who loves tear jerkers. I loved this book so much I read it in 3 hours.

I Read this book because I saw the Snow Ball on the front and I just had to know. I loved this book because it had drama non stop. My favorite part in the book was when they all realized that they had so much feeling for the teacher. I recommend this book to everyone that loves drama books. Its great for kids 9 and up. It maybe a little hard but they will get through it. I just love it!

This was my total second favorite book its like such an awesome book if you read this review please, please, please read Because of Mr.Terupt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is my favorite book.
