Author: Rob Buyea
Because of Mr. Terupt is a warm and engaging school story about how one teacher can change lives. Set in a fifth-grade classroom at Snow Hill School, the novel is told through the voices of seven very different students, each with their own struggles, fears, and hopes.
At first, the class feels divided. There are bullies, pranksters, quiet students, and children who feel left out or misunderstood. Everything begins to change when Mr. Terupt arrives. Through his kindness, creativity, and belief in his students, he helps them see themselves - and each other - in a new way.
When a sudden accident shakes the class, the students are forced to put Mr. Terupt’s lessons into practice. The story gently explores empathy, responsibility, and personal growth, showing how people can change when they feel truly supported.
Written in clear, accessible language, Because of Mr. Terupt is easy to read and emotionally rewarding. It’s a heartfelt story about friendship, understanding, and the lasting impact of a great teacher.
