This book is one of, if not the best, book I have ever read. This series has been my comfort series for years which I have read over and over. I had no idea until a few days ago that there was a fourth and final one. I bawled my eyes out during the last 50 pages and I am still crying as a write this review. This series, Mr. Terupt, The Gang, and all the projects they took on have changed my life forever. Thank you, Rob Buyea. Thank you from the bottom of my heart❤️

It’s fan service done bad. The first two were great, I tolerated the third, but the fourth book is all buildup with no payoff.

I didn't want it to end! I did NOT like saying goodbye to Mr. Terupt either. :'(
Needless to say, the Mr. Terupt series has been one of the sweetest series i have ever read. I don't think I'll ever be able to forget these books :')

This was a pretty strong ending to the Terupt series. The characters were clearly older in this story, which was nice to see. They have lost a lot of their childhood senses of wonder and naivety from the first book. There was some cussing, romance, and more mature humor with this book. It’s like the series evolved with the readers.
With that being said, it did feel almost like Buyea ran out of ideas for some of the characters here. Jessica’s story with her relationship with her father and her poetry seemed SO irrelevant to the overall story. Then, with Anna’s story of her mother getting remarried, it was resolved just before the halfway point of the book. Similarly, Jeffrey’s eating disorder conflict lasted approximately 50 pages before it was over, and then he just wrestled. It really seemed like many of the characters had run their course by this book and, perhaps, needn’t have all been included.
One of the things I really liked in this book was the bucket list idea. Each kid kind of spearheaded some part of their Terupt Bucket List, and that was super cute. I do think it would’ve been even better, though, if Terupt would’ve had an individual conversation, or something heartfelt, with each kid during the course of the project. That would’ve been a really cute ending, but even without that, the bucket list was still a good decision by Buyea.

A great ending to a wonderful series. Between laughing at Peter’s antics and cheering on the gang in their struggles, my son (age 11) and I loved this one. We are sad the series is over now.
