Description
The seven kids who bonded in Mr. Terupt's fifth-grade class are in eighth grade now and reunited with their beloved teacher. Readers will once again be inspired by how the kids face their challenges and by the adults who help them along the way.Jeffrey, Alexia, Anna, Danielle, Luke, Peter, and Jessica are thrilled to have their beloved teacher, Mr. Terupt, back for the school year as their biweekly adviser. They still rely on him for guidance on so many things, including these dilemmas:JEFFREY wants to make varsity wrestling, but at what cost? Worried that she may have the same cancer gene as her mom, ALEXIA takes a DNA test--only she's scared to open the results. Neglected by her soon-to-be-married mom, and wounded by Jeffrey's callous brush-off, ANNA keeps her hurt feelings bottled up--until she can't. DANIELLE has ups and downs with her diabetes, but her budding romance with Luke proves to be the real challenge. LUKE's tackling lots of difficult schoolwork, none of it harder than letting Danielle know he likes her. Anxious about her dad's return, JESSICA pours her heart into writing poetry. Angry at what he thinks is a betrayal, PETER gives Mr. Terupt the silent treatment.To celebrate their remaining time with Mr. Terupt, the students hatch bucket-list type projects to make the school year important, memorable, and way bigger than just the group. Will the gang stick together down to the final project? Will their friendships endure after the difficult goodbye?

Kirkus Book Review
Eighth graders Peter, Jessica, Danielle, Anna, Jeffrey, Luke, and Alexia celebrate their final year with Mr. Terupt, who is still in their lives as their adviser. The fourth book in the series follows 2015's Saving Mr. Terupt. Mr. Terupt's fans will be happy to see their favorite characters return with a bucket list of epic projects. Health issues--diabetes and cancer--become the focus of two successful projects; Luke researches the cows on Danielle's farm; Jeffrey tries to make wrestling weight by starving himself; family relationships grow and change, and so do their own. There's even a chaste kiss. All of them, but especially brokenhearted Peter, struggle to adjust to the idea of a future without Mr. Terupt's support. Buyea follows the narrative pattern of his previous books, chronicling the school year month by month in short chapters with alternating first-person narratives that reflect the speakers' personalities. Readers new to these works will get a good idea of the major issues and events of fifth, sixth, and seventh grades through each speaker's memories, and all will be left with yet another set of lessons about the importance of forgiveness. These Vermonters are probably all White. A satisfying culmination of a middle school chronicle. (Fiction. 9-13) Copyright (c) Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.
