      A Bee in Your Ear - Frieda Wishinsky

      Cacchione.

      CHAPTER ONE

      I Want to Win

      Kate had never won anything.

      She’d never won the jelly bean contest.

      She’d never won the running race on Sports Day.

      She’d never even won at bingo.

      So when her teacher, Mr. Bolin, announced a spelling contest in their spelling club, Kate was determined to win. Kate was good at spelling. It was her second-best subject, right after reading.

      And spelling club was fun. It was one of the five clubs you could join at lunch.

      The contest will take place in one week, said Mr. Bolin. The winner will get a ribbon and a special prize.

      What do you think the prize is? asked Lila at recess.

      I hope it’s not a book about a dog, said Violet. Mr. Bolin loves dogs. Remember that story he read us about a lost dog last week? Remember how he cried at the end? It was disgusting!

      I liked that story, said Kate.

      You would, said Violet, and she rolled her eyes so high they almost touched her blond bangs.

      I hope it’s a gift certificate, said Lila.

      Yes, said Violet. I love gift certificates. Then you can buy anything you want.

      I don’t care what it is, said Kate. I just want to win.

      You won’t win. You don’t get a hundred on every test like I do, said Violet.

      Neither do you, Violet, said Kate’s best friend, Jake.

      Well, I usually do, said Violet. I was just sick once and couldn’t remember two little words. Kate only got ninety-three and ninety-five on the last two tests.

      How do you know? asked Kate.

      I saw your paper.

      Who said you could? said Kate.

      "If you don’t want people to see your stupid spelling, you should cover your paper up. Anyway, I’m never embarrassed to show my paper. Come on, Lila. Let’s start to review
