#MS suitable for G5/6 story of 7 children in Grade 6 dealing with changes in families and lives and bodies as their teacher mentors them through it.
Didn't like the racist comments about Native Americans, and the religiousity of Danielle - but I guess that's the reality of an american school.

Another heartfelt story from the world of Mr. Terupt. The students voices still ring true and this one touches on multiple issues that affect the upper elementary students.

My least favorite in the series, something about Rob Buyea's sequels are weird. I have also read the Perfect Score series, and again, the second book in it was worse than all of the others. Stilll a great book, though. It's been so long since i read it that I can no longer recall why I didn't love this, but i do remember it wasn't my favorite.

Loved the first book Because of Mr. Terupt but the sequel wasn’t great. I didn’t feel the same build up and great foreshadowing that I did in the first book. The characters seem not as developed either. The other problem is that there is lots of pages devoted to periods and breasts. While I think it’s important for middle school students to have books about the things they’re dealing with, it didn’t add to the story much. Disappointed.

Another winner, appropriate for fifth graders and earlier for those encountering puberty. Buyea handles the tough experiences of puberty and peer pressure. Adults, this is a great book to read and discuss with your kids, boys and girls.
