The Spelling Bee Before Recess

Written by Deborah Lee Rose and Illustrated by Carey Armstrong-Ellis

The students were squirming
but none made a sound,
as the spelling bee entered
its championship round.

It’s right before recess, and the annual school spelling bee is down to just three spellers: Cornelius the Genius, Smart Ruby, and The Slugger, who never strikes out. Round after round, the words whizz at them, but with one minute left until recess, there’s still no winner. Who will triumph? It all comes down to one final word, and a curveball that no one sees coming!
