(2) 4-6 When tattletale-detective Chrissie Woodward realizes adults are "fixing" the spelling bee, she transfers her loyalties and starts collecting evidence from fellow students; the chapters, told from rotating perspectives, are presented mainly as the kids' testimony. The story's wit is directed almost entirely against grownups, in a scathingly funny indictment of a shady principal and insanely competitive parents.
