By K.A. Holt, Author. 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. For ages 8 and up.
