K. A. Holt is the author of Rhyme Schemer, along with several other books for young people.
"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
