Because of Mr. Terupt (Mr. Terupt, #1)

Features seven narrators, each with a unique story, and each with a different perspective on what makes their teacher so special. It's the start of fifth grade for seven kids at Snow Hill School. 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. Only Mr. Terupt, their new and energetic teacher, seems to know how to deal with them all. He makes the classroom a fun place, even if he doesn't let them get away with much . . . until the snowy winter day when an accident changes everything--and everyone.
