Because of Mr. Terupt is a little book with a lot of meat. There's a sequel coming out later this year and I'll be waiting for it. BOMT is the first book by Rob Buyea. I checked this out from the library on my Kindle because I like to be reading three books at one time. One book in traditional book form, one ebook and one audio book in the car. Publishers are giving libraries a very hard time about ebooks. Random House wants to charge 80 bucks for one copy of an ebook. Some publishers won't let libraries lend their ebooks at all. The debate goes on and on and so really there aren't a lot of ebooks out there to be borrowed. Finding BOMT was like finding a golden ticket because this book was great. Mr. Terupt is a first year teacher and each chapter in the book is from the POV of one of seven students in his class. Each kid is your typical kid-- everyone has them all figured out on the outside...but inside, each one has a story to tell. I don't want to give away too much, but I definitely strongly recommend this book.
