About this title

Synopsis

After Ned and Jess's parents divorce, Mom rents out the attic room to one disastrous boarder after another, and the latest one, a new teacher at their school, will surely be the most boring boarder of all.

From School Library Journal

Grade 3-5-What do a fresh-faced biology teacher, a horde of locusts, a confused boy, his scheming sister, their harried mother, and a wandering skeleton all have in common? They're links in a sticky scenario involving Ned and Jess and their latest boarder. When Ned discovers all of the strange things the man (dubbed Kid Kibble) keeps in his attic room, he's sold on the new tenant. But Jess is determined to put him to the test. Between her disastrous pranks and Kid's calamitous experiments, the household is turned on its ear. But it's ultimately Jess, who has learned to appreciate and identify with Kid, who helps convince everyone to make the situation work. Through dialogue and Ned's thoughtful observations, the author paints characters that readers can see and feel. The book is written for a slightly older audience than Hendry's The Carey Street Cat and The Not-Anywhere House (both Lothrop, 1991). Gon's simple black-ink sketches give readers just enough detail to see the conflict build. In all, an engaging story that will make youngsters wish they could import Kid Kibble into their own classrooms (or attics).
