India Wimple can spell. Brilliantly. Every Friday night, she
and her family watch the Stupendously Spectacular Spelling Bee. When the
Wimples suggest she enter the next Bee, India says she's not good enough, but
they encourage her to sign up and she makes it all the way to the finals. After
the winner is announced and India thinks her life will return to normal, she is
invited to London for the international bee, but there is skullduggery afoot
and India and her friends have to find out who is trying to ruin the bee!
This story about facing and
overcoming one's fears is a winner." Kirkus Reviews
Humorous
and poignant, this title will inspire readers with its kind, courageous heroine
and may teach some new words along the way.–Kate Nafz, Fair Lawn Public

‘Deb Abela has written
quite a backlist of books for children but I think The Stupendously
Spectacular Spelling Bee is her best yet.’
