Rhyme Schemer Summary

Rhyme Schemer by K.A. Holt

Kevin has a bad attitude. He's the one who laughs when you trip and fall. In fact, he may have been the one who tripped you in the first place. He has a real knack for rubbing people the wrong way-and he's even figured out a secret way to do it with poems. But what happens when the tables are turned and he is the one getting picked on? Rhyme Schemer is a touching and hilarious middle-grade novel in verse about one seventh grader's journey from bully-er to bully-ee, as he learns about friendship, family, and the influence that words can have on people's lives.

Rhyme Schemer Reviews

In the richly imaginative Rhyme Schemer (which I laughed through on a 90 minute plane ride) K.A. Holt's sparkling poetry is akin to Cliff Huxtable's loonylook--eccentric, entertaining, essential. From the first Flaming Turtle to the last Shrieking Tornado, all I could think was, just like Kevin (her 7th Grade poet narrator), verse novels will never be the same. . --Kwame Alexander, author of The Crossover This transformative tale offers important lessons for all persuasions of middle graders, whether bullies or targets, complicit or horrified bystanders.--Kirkus Reviews A strong anti-bullying message. ideal for classroom use.-School Library Journal Poetry-writing seventh-grade bully both is believable and sympathetic, and his voice rings totally authentic.-Booklist The book closes with a smile and a very important middle school reminder: Be Kind. --Reading Today Bullies, those bullied, and bystanders alike will be left with much to ponder.--Publishers Weekly A delightful story with just the right amount of boy language, wonderful free verse poetry, and underlying messages.--Library Media Connection, starred review
