Description

Features seven narrators, every with a unique story, and every with a different point of view on what makes their teacher so special.

It’s the start of fifth grade for seven kids at Snow Hill School. There’s . . . Jessica, the new girl, smart and perceptive, who’s having a hard time fitting in; Alexia, a bully, your friend one second, your enemy the next; Peter, class prankster and troublemaker; Luke, the brain; Danielle, who never stands up for herself; shy Anna, whose home situation makes her an outcast; and Jeffrey, who hates school.
 
Only Mr. Terupt, their new and full of life teacher, seems to understand how to care for them all. He makes the study room a fun place, although he doesn’t let them get away with much . . . until the snowy winter day when an coincidence changes the whole thing—and everyone.
