Because of Mr. Terupt by Rob Buyea

Why: My daughter asked me to read this after she did.

When: start 11/2/13, end 11/3/13

How: I read the hard copy that Jane's Nana sent to her.

Thoughts: This was a great book. And there's a sequel that we'll have to read next. There are seven 5th graders in this class taught by a new teacher, Mr. Terupt, and the point of view of the story moves between the seven students. It worked really well to see the story unfold from each of their perspectives. It was difficult to put the book down for sure. And I still need to ask my daughter what she learned from this book.
