Title: The Stupendously Spectacular Spelling Bee
Author: Deborah Abela
Publisher: Random House Australia
About the book: India Wimple watches The Stupendously Spectacular Spelling Bee on TV every Friday night. When India’s family suggests that she enter, she is nervous and shy, but throughout the course of the Bee she gains confidence, makes new friends and learns that sometimes you need to take risks.
What I thought: I thought this book was funny and interesting. I liked the voice of the book, which made it feel real. I liked the character of India because she reminded me of myself and my friends. Some of the spelling words were quite challenging.
I think this book is a good, easy, entertaining read that boys and girls would both like. I would recommend this book for ages 8+.
I love the sound of the Spectacular Spelling bee! I got so inspired by your site, that I made my own! I love all your reveiws because you put so much detail!
Thanks Sali – good luck with your blog! It looks great.
