This was a re-read of a book I'm using for my 4th-6th grade book club. It's told from the point of view of seven kids starting a new school year with a brand new teacher, Mr. Terupt. In the class are the smart new girl, a bossy bully girl, the class prankster and troublemaker, the brain, the pushover, the shy outcast, and the boy who hates school. Together they navigate the fifth grade with this teacher who does things a little bit differently and makes subtle changes in their lives and interactions with others. When tragedy happens the kids realize just how much Mr. Terupt changed their lives. It's a great story.
