Rob Buyea ( Author)

This novel is about a group of kids who are in the same class for fifth grade. Thier names are Jessica, Alexia, Peter, Luke, Danielle, Anna, and Jeffery. When they get to school on the first day they realize that their teacher is new.His name is Mr. Terupt. While they are getting through first day troubles, like getting all the supplies for the new year, and getting all settled, they realize that Mr. Terupt is not like most teachers. He is very nice and kind-hearted. But don't be fooled, if you push his buttons, like most people would, they would probobly yell at you, he does not. He just kind like he always is. Never makes fights and always has a way to solve problems, even hard ones. Then one day, in the middle of winter, they go outside for a class reward. Peter then picks up a snowball, throws it, then terrible things start to happen. Mr. Terupt had a concussion! Will Mr. Terupt make it alive? Read and find out. I would strongly recommend this book for 4th - 6th graders.
