Rob Buie wrote “It's All About Mister Terrupt” in 2008. His debut novel immediately became incredibly popular: children recognize themselves and their classmates in the characters, teachers draw ideas for their daily work, critics and even the living classic of American literature John Irving note the literary merits of the novel, and everyone agrees on one thing - it is wonderful, incredible fascinating reading. Each child is a separate story, each separate story is intertwined with another. And so the motley carpet of childhood is woven: school friendship and enmity, family problems and support from friends, first disappointments and breathtaking discoveries.For children from 12 years old.
