Mr. Terupt Falls Again Kindle Edition

I teach 5th grade, my students fell in love with the first Mr. Terupt book, so I bought the 2nd one thinking they could pass it around and read it as well. Not happening! I read this one and loved it but it is not appropriate for my students.Reasons why:-Hiding in abandoned houses drinking vodka (guy mentions putting it in water bottles to drink at school)-smoking (tobacco and pot)Some things I think my girls would have been fine with but would be strange for 5th grade boys-first period-stuffing a bra to attract a boy's attentionAs a teacher, I would be careful who I would let read it, or even request parent permission. I do have a student reading it after a long discussion with her mom and her maturity level. Hope this is helpful to a parent or teachers. I love the book but was frustrated by how quickly the author has these kids grow up.

This is a good book, I just wish Rob Buyea hadn't done so much talk about puberty. It was alright for the older age range, but cuts off all under about 12. I liked it, and the first one, but I don't know if others will.For those of you who read the 1 and 2 star reviews and saw the complaints, they were true. But this book is for girls ages 12-14. The first one, "Because of Mr. Terupt," was for boys and girls ages like 9-12 but this second one talks about first kisses, bras, boobs, and periods, so obviously boys aren't going to be happy with that. What I don't understand is how a guy author wrote about this stuff, I mean he acted like he'd been through it. And surprisingly he knew how 12 yr old girls feel about boys and friends. But he exaggerated a LOT about boobs and periods. At least I have never wished my boobs were bigger, or stuffed my bra, and I never ever WANTED my period. I dreaded it for the longest time, and I still do whenever it's that time of the month. That's not all that girls that age think about, so Lexie was over the top. Also Lexie was super excited to get her period, and I'm sorry, but Danielle was waaaay more realistic with this.I do wanna say that this book alternates chapters between 7 kids, 4 girls and 3 boys, Anna, Jessica, Lexie, Danielle, Luke, Peter, and Jeffery. So before you say that oh it should be fine cause there are 3 boys parts, no. The girls' chapters are longer, and more detailed. I mean the only 'guy' thing that they ever said was 'at least you don't pee standing up like I do' to a girl. (They were teasing each other).Oh btw they make references to lots of good books, and the ones I haven't read I'm gonna go read and you should too. But I'm just gonna tell you DON'T go read "Are You There, God, Its Me Margaret." That book is dumb, inappropriate even for older kids like me. It's not a good book AT ALL and all the girl cares about is boobs, her appearance, getting boys to like her, kissing, and her period. Don't let the title fool you like it did me, I'm religious and was expecting something with a little more meaning.But anyway THIS book is great. I'm going to write a list of stuff that parents of younger kids might not like:1. Drugs2. Vodka3. Talk about periods (as I already mentioned)4. Abandoned baby on the side of the road5. First kiss6. Hanging out in abandoned houses (which they got in trouble for and stopped)7. Teenage pregnancy (Anna's mom, not one of the main characters)8. If you're a super protective parent, then divorce might be on your list9. Some talk about boobs, and stuffing bras.But all that bad stuff (the drugs, vodka, and hanging out in abandoned houses) is not done by the main characters but by these older kids who completely turn around by the end of the book.But anyway Rob Buyea did an okay job with this one, even though I did like the first better, just wish the kids were older. In this book they are 12, in the first they are 11. I am 13 and I liked both although the 1st was better. My mom isn't going to let me read the third though, so I guess it's kinda bad. That's sad, because Rob could've made this series a really good one (I'm not saying that it's not).If you are looking for another good book to read you should try "11 Birthdays" by Wendy Mass or any of her other books; or "Wake Up Missing" by Kate Messner. If you're a little younger you might like "Wonder" by R.J. Palacio (by younger I mean like 10 or 11), if you're a little older you might like "Stargirl" by Jerry Spinelli, or "Double Identity" by Margaret Peterson Haddix. For a more meaningful read I absolutely love "One For The Murphy's" by Lynda Mullaly Hunt. Sorry, thats a lot of books, but I hope I helped :D

Um... well... I am 10. I discovered after I read the book their would be some disturbing parts, puberty, in this book. It was awkward because I'm not even STARTING to smell yet, but they talk a lot about puberty for girls. It disturbs me that a guy wrote this book, yet he talks about girl puberty like he went through it. It doesn't seem fair that he can talk about how the girls want to get attention by stuffing their bra. NO GIRL DOES THAT!!!! It is mean the author gets to say we do that for a boy's attention. No one is that dumb. I also think it was a mistake to say it was okay for 9 year olds. I can't even read that stuff! Do not give this book to a kid that isn't mature enough for this book. Their is forcing to drink and smoke, and puberty. These things are for people who have been in their second year of FLE or more, no one younger. It is a good book, just a bit mature.

A good sequel. There did seem to be a lot going on in one book - but, that is, no doubt, typical for any sixth grade class. The author brought enough challenges to each character to keep the plot moving, as well as keep the reader's interest.It was enjoyable to read about the way each student applied some lessons learned from their year with Mr. Terupt in fifth grade to their experiences in the sixth. I thought each issue was handled very realistically, yet gave readers a sense of their own choices. It's a hard balance to strike. Many books written for this age group either overlook adults totally, and lean too heavily on the under-aged protagonist making decisions/finding solutions inappropriate to real life. Or, the parents/teachers/adults in the story fix everything unpleasant and save the day. Much like real life! Some reviewers didn't appreciate the true life situations this book includes - but, I think it was all communicated with honesty - and a little humor. These are the issues kids are facing, and being forthright is better than pretending it doesn't exist.I think this book was entertaining and yet modeled good choices (eventually!) by the characters. Another great book by a great author.It would be fun to continue with these same students, and see how they manage the junior high school years!

Some people have something special, all most Magical about them. They justknow how to share themselves with others. They are natural leaders who lead by example with out even trying too. Who cares and loves to spread hopeand love to others. There are teachers like that, but they are rare, but whenthey walk into your life you never forget them, or the lessions they teach you.In walks Mr. Terupt, let the magic begin. A awesome series that even those thatdon't like reading, will find it hard to put these three books down till they finnishthem all.Debra H.

This book is an engaging and heart-warming tale as it vividly highlights emotions like friendship, helping others when they are in dire need and the emotional connection with someone who has changed your life completely. The story will be loved by all as it has an array of emotions from the feeling of extravagant happiness for someone to the guilt of your wrongdoings. Overall this is an amazing read and will be loved by all as it has an interesting plot that enthralls the reader and most importantly, also teaches them valuable lifelong lessons. I will recommend this book to 12+ because it does contain some explicit language and content which does not adhere to the sensitive minds of the younger ones

I really enjoyed this book. I liked how there were everyone's perspectives on the event that was happening. What I thought was really good though was how everyone had a different story. This book is good for 10-13-year-olds

Continuação do livro "Because of Mr. Terupt".Muito boa leitura para a faixa etária de 12-13 anos. Achei o primeiro livro melhor. Tinha algumas expectativas com este volume mas o livro, ainda assim é bem bom.

Book was purchased as a gift for young reader.

I really enjoyed these book series. They teach children to be kind to each other. Look out for one another and care for their families
