FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Ben B, Ben Y, Jordan J, and Javier failed the Language Arts section of the Florida State Test. Now theyre stuck in a remedial class during summer school, shoved under the stairs of their school. But Ben B and his classmates arent dumb – theyre divergent thinkers, as Ms. J tells them: They simply approach things in a different way not entirely conducive to traditional school. Its not long before they 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 teachers job – and their own academic future. Each chapter is told through the perspective of one of the four students, making for a distinct and engaging cast of characters. This heartwarming, laugh-out-loud novel-in-verse is an honest, heartfelt book about friendship, school, and video games that celebrates different types of intelligence and encourages even the most reluctant reader to embrace their own divergent self. We have four books signed up in this series. Each book centers on one of the four kids in particular. Author Biography K.A. Holt is the author of Rhyme Schemer, House Arrest, Knockout, and Redwood and Ponytail, along with several other books for young people. She lives in Austin, Texas, and is active within the vibrant Texas writing community. Review BenBee and the Teacher Griefer is one of those rare novels that ache with honesty: it is about discouragement and hope, about sad lonesomeness and glad community, about listening and being heard, about the fear of vulnerability and the absolute joy of being known. It is, in other words, about life-and like life, it demands our attention. You wont, you really wont stop turning the pages!"-Gary D. Schmidt, Newbery Honoree, Printz Honoree, and National Book Award Finalist for Okay for Now"Each young character has an expansive life outside the classroom that affects their academic performance and self-image. In addition to loss, a shared feeling is frustration in trying hard and still not measuring up. Over time, the relationships they form change them all. . . . Well-developed characters populate a heartwarming tale."-Kirkus Reviews"[A]ppealing to readers who might resist a page full of prose. . . [K.A.
