BenBee and the Teacher Griefer
By K.A. Holt Publisher: Chronicle Books LLC Publication date: 09/22/2020 For Ben Bellows and his three fellow classmates, nothing could be worse than having to spend time in summer school because they didn’t pass the language arts section of the “FARTS” (The Florida Rigorous Academic Assessment Test). As their new teacher Ms. J soons finds out, each student will go to great lengths not to have to read aloud in class (one tries to flush her book down the toilet!). The kids make a deal with Ms. J that for every minute they read aloud, she will let them play their favorite online video game, Sandbox. When the school administration hears of this unorthodox plan, Ben B and his classmates have to work together to save their teacher’s job. March 29,2021

Fans of graphic novels such as Smile and The Babysitter’s Club will race through this realistic look at family dynamics and life in the 6th grade. February 16, 2021
