Description

Meet Gracie Wei—a go-getting fourth grader who's determined to win it all at her school’s spelling bee competition! A charming new chapter book series for fans of Ivy and Bean or Dory Fantasmagory.

Gracie Wei wants nothing more than to make it onto the Wei’s Special Wall, which displays awards from every family member, even her baby brother—all except for Gracie. Which is why she must win the Grapevine Elementary 4th Grade Class Spelling Bee competition.
Gracie has studied hard, there's just one problem—well, person—in her way. And her name is Elena Yarberry, who’s had it out for Gracie since kindergarten. Can Gracie finally beat Elena and earn a coveted spot on the Wei’s Special Wall?
In a day full of ups and downs, Gracie will learn what it truly means to be special and that winning may be different from what she expected.
