Great book that really depicts the love between student and teacher. Rob Buyea covers the hurt of moving and the hope that strong friendships keep people together.
Goodbye, Mr. Terupt
By Rob Buyea
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 advisor. They still rely on him for guidance in everything, including these predicaments:
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?

Just like the whole series, this doesn't disappoint me. Rob Buyea has done a phenomenal job over the past few years bringing us with Mr Terupt books, the classic Luke, Peter, Jessica, Jeffery, Anna, and Danielle are back again with yet another surprise, and even a point of view from Mr Terupt's side, its quite unfortunate to see a ending for such a series but, all good things do however come to a end, Sooner or later the Mr Terupt series may as well be forgotten, but it was quite a ride to explore with our favorite characters on one of their last journeys, or is it their last? Well, we may never know until another 3 or 2 years.

This is so nice and cute.
The gang is back! Lexie and Peter are back to their on and off relationship, and when Lexie sees an ad on tv for a test that she can take to find out if she has the same cancer gene as her mom, she gets it. The thing is, Lexie's too worried to see the results. Peter is still the comedy king, but when the gang learns some shocking information, he's giving someone the silent treatment. Jeffery really wants to make the varsity wrestling team, but when he needs to do something to get onto the team and because of it, breaks up with Anna- is it worth it? Anna isn't doing so well, now that her mom and Charlie are getting married and she gets neglected by her mom as well as Jeffery's treating her bad. Danielle is switching to an insulin pump for her diabetes, and it's getting kind of hard for her. As well, maybe she and another boy are closer than they think... Luke is doing a science project, but he's also learning that he seems to like someone. Jessica is into poetry, but when her dad comes back- does that mean her mom and him will get back together? In the conclusion to the series, the gang makes you laugh, cry, and realize what friendship really means. Happy reading!
