OverviewRead the unique, middle-grade verse novel, Rhyme Schemer, in this new paperback edition. 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 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 your life.
