This is a lovely book about winning, persevering and friendship for kids. There are ten kids in the spelling club getting ready for a spelling bee including Kate and Jake who are best friends. Wishinsky paints a realistic portrait of how competition can not only bring out the best in people/kids, but also how when you are competing against a friend it can introduce tension into the friendship. She also effectively explores the emotions that go into competing in a contest. The kids and choices in the story are real which makes the book an effective story!
