Rob Buyea writes middle-grade school fiction about classrooms, teachers and children whose problems become visible when adults learn how to listen. Because of Mr. Terupt follows seven fifth-grade students taught by an energetic new teacher whose classroom experiments draw very different children together before an accident changes the group. Mr. Terupt Falls Again and Saving Mr. Terupt continue with the same students, while The Perfect Score begins another school-based ensemble series. Buyea’s prose is accessible and fast, often alternating viewpoints so readers can see how the same classroom event feels different to each child. His books sit within school stories, friendship fiction and middle-grade ensemble novels. Because of Mr. Terupt is the defining title for readers who enjoy multiple narrators and stories where classroom dynamics matter as much as any single protagonist. Read more Less
