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.
Critic reviews
★ "A lovely beginning chapter book....celebrating unconventional wins is a wonderful choice for those seeking transitional chapter books." —School Library Journal, starred review
"Gracie Wei’s single-minded pursuit to please her family and the pressure she puts on herself will resonate with young readers, as will the affirming depictions of the lasting effects of loving support." —Publishers Weekly
"The story....ultimately delivers a reassuring reminder for young readers: being special isn’t about winning but about how we treat others." —Booklist
"Thoughtfully explores ambition, compassion, and the rewards of internal growth." —Kirkus Reviews
"Gracie’s wit and slight snark soften the bluntness with kid-authentic humor that will surely garner some giggles....The short sentences, heavy dialogue, and cartoony black-and-white pencil art put this somewhere between Princess Posey and Alvin Ho for newly solo readers." —The Bulletin
