Publication Order of Mr. Terupt Books

The “Mr Terupt” series is a set of popular children’s fiction novels by Rob Buyea. Unlike her contemporaries, she was never excited about writing or reading as a child.

Still, her mother would usually suggest all manner of books to her every time she said that she was bored. She still wishes she had taken that advice as she believes she could have been better at it had she listened.

During her high school and college years, she was more passionate in sports and particularly wrestling which she did since she was four. Nonetheless, she thinks there are a ton of things she learned in wrestling that have stood her in good stead as an author.

It is from participating in wrestling that she learned about perseverance, failure and working on something until it got completed. Once she graduated from college, she decided to leave wrestling behind as she went on to become a wrestling coach at high school and elementary school teacher.
Buyea would then spend more than six years teaching fourth and third graders until her students encouraged gher to write fiction.

After more than six years as an elementary teacher, the family moved to Northfield where she had a job at an independent boarding school. She decided to become a high school teacher of wrestling and biology. Rob Buyea taught for a little more than seven years and it was during this time that she would get her debut work published.

Buyea now feels very grateful and fortunate to work as a full time author. Her novels have won several awards over the years and she has had an opportunity to reach learners all over the world.
