  2. I liked the way the author divided each chapter by a different kid's point of view. Kind of an unexpected event brings some drama to the story.

  4. This book is about Mr. Terupt and his class. I think Mr. Terupt is the best character because he is so serious about everything. I like how the students had a big snowball fight. You should check it out in your own library. It’s a good book.

  5. This book is about a classroom at White Hill School, and they have a major occurrence. There is a lot of adventure, suspense, and FULL of laughs. My favorite part was when the kids saw something unexpected. You like the sound of this and want to read it? Then go check it out at your local library.

  6. This book is a teacher that has a major occurrence.
    I like this book because it is cool how they put the kids names on each chapter to show each kid is telling part of the book.I think you should read this book because it’s good for kids in fifth grade or going into fifth grade. There are kids in the book and some of the kids could be acting like you.

  7. If anyone one is thinking about reading it,I recommend it. This is a great book and I finally got to the accident part. All the kids have different personalities and point of views. My favorite character is Jessica,because she doesn't run from her problems, she stops them! Who is your favorite character?

    1. I agree with your comment and recommend it as well. I like how you say Jessica stops all of her problems instead of running from them. My favorite character is Anne because she is nice and pretty quiet. It's really a great book isn't it? :)

  8. This story is about a new teacher who makes the school year interesting. I like this book because at the end of the year it has a huge bump in the the road. I liked that the chapters were told by the individual students.

    Because of Mr. Terupt by Rob Buyea is a funny book, with a dramatic touch, about a class who gets a very special teacher. My favorite part is when the whole class visits Mr. Terupt in the hospital. If I were to rate this book from good to excellent, I would rate it an excellent because it was a joy to read throughout the whole book.

  10. There are 7 kids, Luke, Jeffery, Peter, Anna, Alexia, Daniel, and Jessica.
    They have a teacher named Mr.Terupt and something terrible happens.
    I like when Alexia turned nice because she was mean in the being.
    I think this is excellent because it has a lot of action.
    People who like action would like this book.

  12. Because of Mr.Terupt by Rob Buyea is about a group of 5th graders who all love their teacher but something horrible happens and they all take the blame.

    My favorite quote was”It’s not your fault!”
    I thought it was great because it has a happy ending

  13. I like this book because of all the characters and their points of view. Alexia is a drama queen and she is such a gossiper. My favorite characters is Anna because she is super nice and kind. Luke is so into math and other nerdy stuff. Peter and Jeffery are so mean and are the troubles makers in school. I think it is funny how they do all those pranks even though it is mean. Danielle is a nice girl and people (aka Alexia) should stop being mean to her because she is kind hearted and nice to everyone in her grade so they should not tease or make fun of her or her weight. I think Mr.Turrupt is a cool teacher to have and if I had him next year, I would be exited and happy to have such a funny teacher. Those are my thoughts on the book Because Of Mr.Turrupt.
