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.

Mr. Terupt is the new teacher. He just seems like a normal teacher, but he's not. The kids can tell that from the start. They agree he's the best teacher they've all ever had. One day, the class teams up against Peter, the class prankster, to pull a joke on him. They shove him in the snow and throw snowballs at him, having fun. Peter gets mad. Steaming mad. Peter pulls an ice ball out of his coat pocket and chucks it, not looking where he threw it. Lexi screams. The snowball has hit Mr. Terupt, right in the chest, causing a coma. They all look at their fun, energetic, teacher laying on the ground. He is rushed to the hospital, but the kids know the hospital can't save everyone. Will this life changing teacher be okay? Will it end like so many other lives do in the hospital? I'm leaving it you you to read the book and find out.
