Mr. Terupt Falls Again
by Rob Buyea
***SPOILERS AHEAD***
This was my November 2018 book of the month. I love Mr. Terupt and all his characters, and this book brought me right back to the school and plot I myself fell in love with in the last book (hint, hint). So let’s catch up with the characters:
Jessica: She’s returned from a writing camp in New York and is wondering more about writing movies as well as Mr. Terupt and his past. In this book, she does a whole lot of narration and storytelling, which was a nice touch.
Luke: He’s returned from detective camp and is ready to solve any mystery that comes his way. He’s worried about Mr. Terupt as he starts noticing dizzy spells and stuttering that seems to be affecting his teacher.
Alexia: She’s really in a hurry to grow up. When she runs into high schoolers that are teaching her all the wrong things (drinking, smoking, and almost drugs) can she find the courage to stand up to them? And how will she change because of it?
Anna: She’s wondering more and more about her father and her mother’s past, as well as her feelings for Peter and Jeffrey. Can she find the nerve to ask the questions on her mind?
Peter: He’s a prankster as always, but he’s got a problem that’s making him try to fail sixth grade. His parents want him to attend a private boarding school called Riverway after he graduates sixth grade, but Peter doesn’t want to leave his friends or Mr. Terupt.
Danielle: She’s learning about herself, her family, and growing up. She’s learning to deal with her physical and emotional changes, as well as trying to keep her worry about a strange man on her family’s land in check.
Jeffrey: My heart felt happy for Jeffrey in this book. He rescues an abandoned baby in the beginning of the book (later named Asher) and is just trying to get his family back together. He and Peter also join wrestling with Mr. Terupt. ***SPOILER ALERT*** Jeffrey and his parents eventually adopt Asher and get their family back together, which was really the happy ending Jeffrey and I needed.
So yeah, there was a lot going on in this sequel, not to mention the exchange program with the students, the Snow Hill Carnival, and ***SPOILER ALERT*** Mr. Terupt and Ms. Newbery’s wedding! But it was a very enjoyable book. Some may think that Mr. Terupt is just some fictional character, but for those of us who have had our very own Mr. Terupts in our lives, we know that teachers really can have this incredible impact on all of their students. This book is more mature than the first, but the students are getting older. I do wish we had found out who Asher’s parents are, and who Anna’s father is, but there’s always next book (which hopefully I’ll be starting soon).
