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 is probably in my top 20 favorite books! It's amazing!

my cousin recommended it
I read this book because it looked interesting.
I read it and it was on of the best books I ever read!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think it should have a 5 star rating!!!!
Great book! Definitely a must read!
I believe that "Because of Mr. Terupt" is a wonderful book. They plot structure is amazing. This has been my favorite book I've ever read because I love all of the main characters, Mr. Terupt, Peter, Luke, Jeffery, Anna, Danielle, Alexia, and Jessica. When I was reading the book all I wanted to do was read the whole thing. If I sat down and started reading, without any interruptions, I could probably read the whole book in one sitting. I believe the part when Mr. Terupt goes into the hospital is the climax. My favorite part is when Alexia, Danielle, Anna, and Jessica are in the same room where Mr. Terupt is laying in his coma. "Because of Mr. Terupt" is sad and happy at the same time. I recommend this book to everyone who loves to read and everyone who is looking for a great story.
This book was awesome!!! All about 1 teacher who changes the life of 7 students. Very beautifully written and worth reading.
Best book ever!!!!!!!!if you are into drama and emotional stories, then this is the book for you! It is about seven kids who are starting fifth grade with a new teacher, Mr. Terupt. They have good and funny times, but on a snowy day, everyone and everything changes.
