I Had Forgotten

Just how good Rob Buyea is. Because of Mr. Terupt was his first book and Mr. Terupt Falls Again is the sequel, even though it is marketed as a companion piece. I'm not sure why, because it truly is a sequel. And it's great. You should read them in order, so you can get to know the characters- all 6th graders this year in Mr. T's class. The book is told from multiple POVs an fits together so well. Now I know there were complaints that the material wasn't appropriate for 4th graders and I guess so, but I think it is fine for 5th graders and the kids in the book are 6th graders. I don't know why you'd think it was automatically for 4th graders anyway. The truth is though- there are a lot of 4th graders who know exactly what this kind of material is all about. In fact I don't know what material was so inappropriate for 4th graders. I just thought that the kids were all different and some were mature and some weren't and well isn't that just like life.
