Book Review: Because of Mr. Terupt

        Okay, to celebrate our total of 0 followers, I decided to do a book review! Yay! I think...

        As you have probably guessed, this review is about the novel Because of Mr. Terupt by Rob Buyea.

Holy cow, I loved this book - it's giving me chills.

Storyline

        This book follows 7 fifth graders through their year with the new teacher in the building (you guessed it guys), Mr. Terupt. The book rotates through their points of view, and you get to know each of their unique stories as the year goes on. And then - bam - a tragedy occurs. 

Characters

Jessica - The inevitable new girl. She's the smart one who's always carrying around a book. My kinda girl.

Alexia - It's like a middle schooler in fifth grade. Alexia is the snobby, backstabbing (not to mention lipgloss-wearing) frienemy of the class. 

Peter - The typical boy. A class clown, jerkface, whatever you wanna call them.

Luke - Think Brain from Arthur. He's the smart boy in the class, the mathematician, the one who's always getting asked "What was your answer, Luke? 'Cause I'm dumb and can't figure it out myself!"

Danielle - She isn't the shy one, but she never stands up for herself. Danielle is described as being overweight, and her very own frienemy is her biggest tormentor when it comes to this. 

Anna - Anna is the shy one. She's an outcast because of her family history which I'm NOT gonna tell you about hahaha read the book. 

Jeffrey - Jeffrey is quiet and indifferent. He's the one that hates school. 

Mr. Terupt - Is, of course, their teacher! He's the new one in the building. I'm not going to tell you anything more about him, either, because if you're still reading this boring review, you probably should go check the book out from the library. Right now. Because it's worth it. 

Rating

And, finally, what you've been waiting for (I'm sure)...

★★★★★

OMG FIVE OUT OF FIVE STARS GUYS! It's such a good, cute story, but it's not too fluffy. It's in-depth, makes you think, but it's also a quick read. Ugh, I love it.

        If you're ever had a teacher inspire you, you'll love this book.

        If you've been indifferent to all your teachers, you'll love this book.

        If you have a heart, you'll love this book.

        

        I was laying in my room - alone - on a summer evening, reading this book, and I was just like:

Needless to say, it was amazing. This is a Book Worth Reading.
