#mr terupt series

[fandomsareforlife]

Also before you ask, yes these are all books that I was obsessed with as a kid.

[best-kids-media-adult]

The lowest-placing entrant in each Round 0 poll will be eliminated, as will the second-lowest-placing entrant with the overall lowest percentage.

Reasons each character is the best are under the cut!

Kanan Jarrus: "Jedi Knight, survived order 66, finds and trains Ezra Bridger, resident dad of the Ghost crew, kind, brave, goes blind to save Ezra, dies to save Hera and the others"

Marcia Overstrand: "Saves the protagonist’s life and sees potential in him and offers him an apprenticeship and a home when he’s just Some Random Kid. Her found family mentor/apprentice relationship with protagonist is one of the most important relationships of the series. Prickly but Cares A Lot underneath. Insists on wearing ridiculous shoes all the time. I love her."

Maxwell: "i just think he's neat. he cares about his students so much and is so willing to drop everything and throw hands with the magical government over them at all times. he's very gentle but a bit mischievous too"

Milligan: "Consider: flung himself off not one but TWO very high places (cliff and building) in service of the kids he protects. Also a great dad and a clever and funky man overall."

Minerva Mcgonagall: "Harry Potter"Only competent teacher there, girlboss, actually helps Harry, stands up to Umbridge, girlboss, turns into a cat"

Mr. McFeely:He delivers mail speedily but is also always willing to stop and talk about things that are important and/or interesting"

Mr. Terupt: "Best teacher, 10/10, Would recommend"

Niyx Raedon: He was a secret mentor figure to the main character who he was soul-bound to and protected through space and time. He died taking a fatal wound instead of the protagonist. The banter and interactions between him and the main character were the best."

Hi Jenn. Can you have an MG or YA novel with an adult protagonist? Kind of like the film NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM, where the main character is an adult and most of the characters are adults too, though it’s still child-like as a story, plus the main character does have a son who’s a child. If that was a novel would the kid of the main character have to be the main POV or could the adult he like in the movie?

The short answer is, No.

BUT! There's nuance here, so... kinda?

There are certainly examples of children's books with adult NARRATORS. (Series of Unfortunate Events. From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler.) -- but the stories are not ABOUT the narrator, they are about the kids.

There are certainly examples of children's books with adult protagonists, especially in classic books, but the adults are weird/child-like. (Mr. Popper's Penguins. Amelia Bedelia.) In those, while the adults are the main characters, they are acting like kids, and/or the kid reader will see why they are funny / wrong / whatever and will either relate to the character or feel "more grown up" than the character.

There could be a MULTI-POV book in which one or a few of the many POV characters are adults. (My client James Klise wrote THE ART OF SECRETS, which is a YA art hoax novel in which there are 12 POV characters, a couple of whom are adults, but the adults are hardly the stars of the show.)

Or a there could be a book with an adult character who is quite important, but it's not from their POV. (BECAUSE OF MR TERUPT has a lot to do with the teacher, the titular Mr Terupt -- but it's from the POV of multiple kids in the class.)

Or a there could be a book with a main character who isn't technically an "adult" because they are not technically a normal human. The BARTIMAEUS series by Jonathan Stroud comes to mind -- it's alternating POV between a kid and a genie. The genie is like, a million years old, and knows everything, so I guess is An Adult... but IS HE, really? SKULLDUGGERY PLEASANT is about a 12-year-old girl who is the apprentice of a skeleton sorcerer, and he's a main character, obvs -- like it's named after him! But can a "skeleton sorcerer" be said to be a Normal Adult? Lots of superheroes are adults, technically, but if there are kids books about them, they are usually kid/teen versions of themselves, OR, if it is a straight-ahead book about their "grownup" version, they aren't REALLY regular human adults, are they?

But regular human normal-ass adults? No. They have their own dang books!

[ghosts-and-blue-sweaters]

So I saw you mentioned on that hyperspecific poll that you love middle school novels. First of all, SAME. Second of all, have you ever read anything by Gary D. Schmidt? Third of all, do you have any middle school novels you would recommend? I'm looking to spend more time reading and less time on my phone!

YES!!! SOMEONE WHO SHARES MY LOVE FOR MIDDLE GRADE NOVELS YES!!!

He sounds very familiar, but I don’t think so! Are there any books of his that you recommend?

Ohhhhh yes >:)

Waggit’s Tale by Peter Howe

These books made up so much of my childhood 😭

I haven’t actually reread them in years, but I remember them being so darn good… and also filled with Many Emotions.

Out Of My Mind by Sharon Draper

So darn good like oh my gosh-

It just feels so real and personal and it was also very insightful!

Because of Mr Terupt by Rob Buyea

Aaaaaaaaah yes <3 The multiple POVs work really well here!! Very good series!

Jake and Lily by Jerry Spinelli

Super fun, really unique, very immersive. One of the few stories that I’ve ever reread!

Survivors by Erin Hunter

I could never really get myself into Warriors, but I absolutely love Survivors! I think it’s a really cool series—I just love the characters, and the story gets especially good in the second series!

Revenge of The Flower Girls by Jennifer Ziegler

I really need to reread this again 😭

This. Hekkin. Series. The title makes it sound cheesy but I promise you it’s not. In fact, it’s one of my favorite books/series!

Starfire by Jennifer Alvarez

THE GUARDIAN HERD MY BELOVED

These books shaped me when I was 11-12, I think. Amazing series. So darn good.

They’re also pretty much the only audiobooks I’ve ever voluntarily listened to! The narrator is freaking awesome!!

How To Speak Dolphin by Ginny Rorby

YES <3

I haven’t read this one in years, so it might not be as good as I remember… but I remember it being very good XD

[incorrectghostfiles]

Hi! So ive got a few book recs

Her royal highness by rachel hawkins, ya romance

They both die in the end/the first to die in the end by Adam silvera, ya romance

The pirate captains daughter by Eve bunting, ya pirate book with a side of very cute romance(I hope you can find it, I legit I now clue how i got a copy or where to find one)

Because of Mr terupt & series by rob buyea, youth fiction, a personal favorite of mine, dives into some pretty deep topics for a youth novel

The city of ember & series by Jeanne DuPrau, somewhere between youth a ya dystopian novel another personal fav of mine

The seven husbands of Evelyn hugo by taylor Jenkins reid, romance-ish one or two kinda spicy scenes, but not enought that I wouldn't recomend it to like my grandma

One of us is lying/next by Karen McManus, ya mystery series, some queer rep, side dish of romance, and a twist ending of both of the book

Shattering glass by Gail giles, ya mystery, dude this book fucked me up, the suspence keeps building and the end is holy shit, DO NOT read unless you have something really feel good to read after, but it is incredibly well written

All for the game trilogy by nora sakavic, i believe it's self published, sports mafia gay, nearly every trigger known to man(be careful) great fandom

And really anything louis Lowry

I'll make sure to check those out, thank you very much ~!

[ghosts-and-blue-sweaters]

OKAYOKAY here are reccs!!

The Guardian Herd by Jennifer Lynn Alvarez! It’s middle-grade fantasy about pegasus, and I really enjoyed reading it :D It’s been quite a few years though, so maybe they’re not as good as I remember…

Forget Me Not by Ellie Terry! It’s sweet, beautiful written, and tells a very good story :)

The Simple Art Of Flying by Cory Leonardo OUGH BIRDS YES

Nikki On The Line by Barbara Carroll Roberts! I honestly don’t remember much about this book, but I did enjoy it! And that says something, because I’m not a sports fan at all XD

Front Desk by Kelly Yang has forever embedded itself into my memory. I’ve been meaning to read the next book in the series.

Littler Women: A Modern Retelling by Laura Schaefer is SO GOOD yesssss. Very sweet :)

The Mr Terupt series by Rob Buyea is one I highly recommend

Hope these help, my friend!!

Do any of my beloved mutuals have any recommendations of books I can read on my spring break trip?

I'm shamelessly tagging some people who I know have excellent or similar taste to me in books: @ghosts-and-blue-sweaters @magpie-trove @fairytale-lights @kazoosandfannypacks @misscrazyfangirl321

Educators have had to hit the ground running during the pandemic, re-inventing the way they teach on the fly, so to speak. Let your teachers know how much you appreciate all they do – here are some ideas:

Write an email to your child’s teacher expressing your gratitude for all they’ve done this year, especially while adapting to so many changes in the way they teach.

Write an email to the principal, letting them know how much you appreciate your teacher.

Show appreciation on Social Media, use the social media hashtag #ThankATeacher from the National PTA and share how educators have brightened your or your child’s life.

Donate books for your teacher’s classroom library.

Send your teacher a gift card for food or classroom supplies.

Have your child a write special letter, e-mail, recorded video message, or drawing to send to their teacher.

Teacher Appreciation Week also brings to mind some of our favorite fictional teacher like:

Ms. Frizzle from The Magic School Bus series

Miss Clavel from the Madeline books

Miss Nelson in Miss Nelson is Missing!

Mr Falker in Thank you, Mr. Falker

Mr. Browne from Wonder

Miss Honey from Matilda

Mr. Terupt from Because of Mr. Terupt

Minerva McGonagall from the Harry Potter series

Miss Stacy from Anne of Green Gables

Who are some of your favorite teachers from fiction? Let us know in the comments!

[cathair-inmy-quesadilla]

random ask of the day: what is something (a book, movie, tv show, musician, hobby, etc) you tried to get into but just couldn’t?

(i hope this makes sense)

Books: from top to bottom, left to right

Row 1: the rangers apprentice, a wrinkle in time, naked came the manatee, auggie and me, charlie and the great glass elevator, the bronze bow

Row 2: the perfect score, an abundance of Katherines, paper towns, looking for alaska, chaseing vermeer, the Shakespeare stealer, ozma of oz, the magicians nephew,

Row 3: Artemis fowl, the westing game, the giver, hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, the wizard of oz, the last of the mohicans, the secret garden

Row 4: mortal engines, the Copernicus legacy, B* witch(an advance proof I found), mother knows best, catalyst, good omens, the hidden staircase, the ballad of songbirds and snakes

Row 5: a series of unfoutunate events, the nane of the wind, magyk, snape: a definitive reading, becuase of winn-dixie

Not pictured: goodbye Mr. Terupt, Prince charming, an absolutely remarkable thing

I think that's it

Fun fact: I was inspired to create the fictional town of Buchtton after reading Rob Buyea’s Mr. Terupt series a few years ago. My novella Lucia was very much influenced by Buyea’s works.

Anyways, have a wonderful week!
