The Spelling Bee Scuffle: Sylvie Scruggs
(eBook)
In the third book in this laugh-out-loud series, Sylvie Scruggs proves she can turn any situation into trouble -- including the school spelling bee! Cherry Hill Elementary has always had two baseball fields, one for Sylvie Scruggs's fourth-grade-and-under friends, and one for Jamie Redmond's fifth-grade crew. When Jamie's field is demolished for a kindergarten playground, the fifth graders want to take over the fourth-grade space. Finally, Sylvie and Jamie make a bet: Whoever wins the school spelling bee wins the baseball diamond too. Sylvie knows her friend Miranda will be the champion, no question, and the field will be safe for her team.But then Josh Stetson beats Miranda in the class bee, which means he'll compete against the fifth-graders for the school title. As Sylvie tries to help Josh prepare for the big event, friendships get strained, secret deals get made, and matters spin WAY out of control. How far will Sylvie go to win the field for her friends? Praise for the Sylvie Scruggs series:"Two words: Sylvie Scruggs. Two more words: LOVE HER! Eyre nails it with this new kid on the block. (And here's a challenge: I dare you not to laugh out loud)." -- Barbara O'Connor, author of How to Steal a Dog and The Fantastic Secret of Owen Jester"Pair this with Barbara Park's Junie B. Jones series or Sara Pennypacker's Clementine series." -- Booklist"Eyre's laugh-out-loud debut novel captures the discovery of the opposite sex in a fun and realistic way, while Santoso's black-and-white artwork brings the personalities of the characters to life. Fans of Junie B. Jones will love the adventures of this heroine as they become engaged in this early chapter book." -- School Library Journal"Eyre's entertaining debut will have readers looking forward to Sylvie's next adventure." -- Publishers Weekly"Boisterous, confident... Readers will appreciate watching Sylvie determinedly working toward her goals." -- Kirkus Reviews Lindsay Eyre received an MFA in Creative Writing for Children and Young Adults from the Vermont College of Fine Arts.

"Attention!" Ms. Bloomen said as soon as we were back in our seats after recess. "It's time for our class spelling bee!"Some of the class cheered, but many of us did not. This was not because we didn't like spelling bees -- spelling bees are always great, because if they last long enough, we don't have to do math. No, we didn't cheer because of the bet. Whoever won the class bee would go to the school spelling bee, and the future of baseball rested upon their spelling shoulders. No one wanted to have those shoulders.I was one of the cheerers, because I wasn't worried. Miranda would win the spelling beethe fifth graders would have to play hopscotch at recess, which would be funnyand everything would be just fine. Forever."Everyone line up!" Ms. Bloomen said. "That's right, over there. Near the windows. No jostling. Everyone be respectful!"Nobody was respectful and everyone jostled, because no one wanted to go first. Most of the time our class was not very unified, but in this, we were awesomely one.Ms. Bloomen began anyway. She started with really easy words like "across," "again," and "cellar.""A - c - r - o - s," Lucy Smith said."A - g - a - e - n," Seamus Holland answered."C - e - l - l - a - r - r - r," Marcie Xu said, taking an extra long time on the last letter, like a pirate."Three r's, Marcie?" Ms. Bloomen said."Aren't there?" Marcie said, even though she is one of the smartest girls in the room.The spelling bee went on. People were dropping like flies that didn't know how to spell."E - m - m - b - b - a - r - r - a - s - s.""L - e - e - g.""A - r - c - h - e - r - i - e." Praise for the ...
