I am also reviewing this item because it popped-up on the Random Review click. You've captured the anticipation and nervousness of a spelling competition. The young girl, could be pictured in the reader's mind, as via the description of her appearance. Do I remember patent leather shoes, and the cool click of them on wooden surfaces! Very cute.
I felt for her as she had spelled a tough word, and stood on stage with two more contestants left in their seats. This time, however, she failed to spell the word. Her emotions dropped to a lower level as she could feel "failure" nagging at the pit of her stomach. Loved the ending, as it added surprise -- a little twist, if you will, because third place still gets you to the National Spellings Bees to compete.
Nice! I had to change the rating on this item due to the word codeine. Since it is a narcotic, it needs to be placed in at least a 13+ content rating.
Otherwise, well done and reminiscent of school days, way back when.
