I Put a Spell on You by Adam Selzer


Shortly before the annual school spelling-bee, Chrissie Woodward, who has always been the school tattle-tale for the principal, begins to suspect that the bee is being rigged by the school principal. As she investigates the adults involved in the conspiracy, she gets to know her fellow students better and switches her allegiance, vowing to bring the offenders to justice.


Told from the perspective of various students, this humorous story recounts the conspiracy surrounding the annual school spelling-bee, which is a major event in town. The adult-bashing humor will have readers laughing from the start. Chrissie grows throughout the story as she begins to really see the complexities of her fellow students, who are trying hard to do the right thing and steer clear of the adult manipulations.
