Because of Mr Terupt
If you have...

If you have not read this book, get out! (or gently exit and go to the library immediately and read it in one day because you cant put it down!)

This book was amazing! 

I am a huge fan of realistic fiction and fantasy, (i know, totally seperate) and this realistic fiction was amazing!

It follows the different perspectives of seven kids whose lives are transformed by an amazing teacher name Mr Terupt. 

Then, Mr Terupt gets hit in the head with a hard snowball thrown by one of the students and gets put in a coma. 

You have to read the book to find out more!

And now its time for a BOOK DISCUSSION!!! 

(plus now theres 2 sequels!)

That sounds so good! I want to read it. Have you tried When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead? It's my favourite book of all time, and it's realistic fiction/fantasy.

It starts when Miranda's best friend Sal gets punched, then stops walking her home from school. She must find a way to handle the mysterious notes she's getting all on her own.

I am coming to save your friends life and my own. I ask two favours. First, you must write a letter.

It is an epic book, that I would recommend to any kid who likes time travel, having their brain thoroughly twisted up, and raspberry cordial.

I LOVE when you Reach Me and Because of mr.terupt (the whole triology)! If you like, if you reach me, then you totally should read A Wrinkle In Time! So good! The graphics novel version is great too, but I totally prefer the real book.
