Story
No one likes or wants to take the statewide assessment tests. Not the students in Mrs. Woods's sixth-grade class. Not even Mrs. Woods. It's not as if the kids don't already have things to worry about. The whole school is in a frenzy with test time approaching - kids, teachers, the administration. Everyone is anxious. When one of the kids has a big idea for acing the tests, they're all in. But things get ugly before they get better, and, in the end, the real meaning of the perfect score surprises them all.

Melody is not like most people. She cannot walk or talk, but she has a photographic memory; she can remember every detail of everything she has ever experienced. She is smarter than most of the adults who try to diagnose her and smarter than her classmates in her integrated classroom - the very same classmates who dismiss her as mentally challenged because she cannot tell them otherwise. But Melody refuses to be defined by cerebral palsy.

Link, Michael, and Dana live in a quiet town. But it's woken up very quickly when someone sneaks into school and vandalizes it with a swastika. Nobody can believe it. How could such a symbol of hate end up in the middle of their school? Who would do such a thing? Because Michael was the first person to see it, he's the first suspect. Because Link is one of the most popular guys in school, everyone's looking to him to figure it out. And because Dana's the only Jewish girl in the whole town, everyone's treating her more like an outsider than ever.

Publisher's Summary
Seven students are about to have their lives changed by one amazing teacher in this school story sequel filled with unique characters to whom every listener can relate.
It’s the start of a new year at Snow Hill School, and seven students find themselves thrown together in Mr. Terupt’s fifth grade class. There’s...Jessica, the new girl, smart and perceptive, who’s having a hard time fitting in; Alexia, a bully, your friend one second, your enemy the next; Peter, class prankster and troublemaker; Luke, the brain; Danielle, who never stands up for herself; shy Anna, whose home situation makes her an outcast; and Jeffrey, who hates school.
They don’t have much in common, and they’ve never gotten along. Not until a certain new teacher arrives and helps them to find strength inside themselves - and in each other. But when Mr. Terupt suffers a terrible accident, will his students be able to remember the lessons he taught them? Or will their lives go back to the way they were before - before fifth grade and before Mr. Terupt?
Find out what happens in sixth and seventh grades in Mr. Terupt Falls Again and Saving Mr. Terupt. And don't miss the conclusion to the series, Goodbye, Mr. Terupt, coming soon!

Ableist Language
It normalized the R word. Ableist language shouldn’t be in kids books. It focuses on the mean behavior that typical neurological children demonstrate, but doesn’t speak out more against rude behavior toward children with disabilities. Mr. Terupt is more outraged at the mean girl behavior than the other kids calling children with disabilities the R word or stupid.

Eye-roll inducing
I cannot believe this book got such high reviews. It is so tropey, cheesy, and stereotypical. It says the 'R' word throughout the book, fat shames one of the characters constantly and also has a scene where the class sees the principal's butt cheeks...We were made to read this in our homeroom for 6th grade and I dreaded it. Whoever wrote this apparently used to be a teacher and has some sort of god complex with himself because Mr. Terupt is a miracle worker in this book. He makes "magic" in his classroom (insert eye roll). Would not recommend.

Ok but not great
This was a really basic story with 7 revolving perspectives and each one had a little bit to offer to the story.
This book revolves around the happenings of a fifth grade classroom. Each kid has their own storyline, their own concerns and onset of issues. It’s actually a little complicated to keep track of all of them. Regardless of who they are, they all love this teacher that they have.
Besides the arc of one character, the story was pretty meh. It got interesting when the teacher went to the hospital but apart from that, there really wasn’t enough story to pull me in.
They are kids. They did kid things. No magic happened. The teacher survives. 🤷🏻♂️

A pessimistic review:
Highly motivated first year teacher takes on a group of teeny tiny stereotypical student narcissists who take advantage of his kindness throughout the school year and cause great potential harm to each other and the adults around them and eventually physically harm their teacher to the point of putting him a coma by nailing him with an ice ball after said teacher had kindly created a “reward day” outside in the snow (reward day used loosely as narcissistic students “earned” this day by simply behaving as one would hope decent human beings would act). After kind first year teacher is hospitalized for subsequent brain injury, narcissist students begin to wonder if they could have possibly contributed to his being there and needing brain surgery all while violating hipaa protocol by going to his hospital room and trying to assuage their guilt in his condition by getting teacher’s doctors to reassure them that “it’s not their fault he’s there.” Only to have a parent group speak to said narcissist students and tell them that the parents actually BLAME kind first year teacher for his own injury because he “should have corrected narcissist students’ behaviors sooner” and so really his current coma is HIS OWN FAULT. But parents don’t really want to see kind first year teacher get in trouble or for his current state of affairs…
