From the author of Rhyme Schemer, House Arrest, and Knockout! The
Kids Under the Stairs: BenBee and the Teacher Griefer is a funny,
clever novel-in-verse series about Ben Bellows-who failed the
Language Arts section of the Florida State test-and three
classmates who get stuck in a summer school class. But these kids
aren't dumb-they're divergent thinkers, as Ms. J tells them: they
simply approach things in a different way than traditional school
demands. * Each chapter is told through the perspective of one of
the four students, who each write in a different style (art, verse,
stream of consciousness). * Celebrates different types of
intelligence * A heartwarming, laugh-out-loud novel-in-verse Soon,
the kids win over Ms. J with their passion for Sandbox, a
Minecraft-type game. The kids make a deal with Ms. J: every minute
they spend reading aloud equals one minute they get to play Sandbox
in class. But when the administration finds about this unorthodox
method of teaching, Ben B. and his buds have to band together to
save their teacher's job-and their own academic future. The first
in a series of complementary storylines, this is an honest,
heartfelt book about friendship, videogames, and learning to love
yourself. * Features a distinct and engaging cast of characters *
Encourages even the most reluctant reader to embrace their own
"divergent" self * Perfect for parents of kids age 10 and up who
love Minecraft, educators and librarians, middle grade readers, new
readers of poetry, and fans of videogames * Add it to the shelf
with books like Ghost by Jason Reynolds, Patina by Jason Reynolds,
and Short by Holly Goldberg Sloan.
