While Because of Mr. Terupt and Mr. Terupt Falls Again will appeal to students in upper elementary who want more excitement and true friendship (that is, all of them), reading it as an adult was mind-numbing. The first one went quickly enough, but I don't plan on reading any more in the series. The books are innocuous, and I like how Buyea introduces the concept of a changing narrator, but I just felt like he was writing about the teacher he imagines himself to be. In addition, as a teacher, the practical details that he fudged (yes, I know about artistic license) distracted me too much. Seven students in a class? Maybe a special ed class. Don't get me started. But I am constantly distracted by incorrect details in books and movies. This book is overwhelmingly fine.
As a student in school libary media, I am constantly reading books. Here, I review them. I mostly focus on YA, juvenile, and adult books that would appeal to high school students. While I try to keep up with newly published works, I love to reread and check out older works.
