If only the formula for winning wasn't so complicated!

Make more duaa + study spelling words every day until the spelling bee + write down each word ten times so my hand memorizes it + spell each word out loud ten times + don’t get distracted by anything else! + don’t share your secrets with anyone = WINNER!

Amina is determined to win, but with a formula that long, how will Amina be able to study, keep up with tasks at home and stay true to her friends – who are also her biggest competition at the bee?

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Jacob Y. ★★★★★

My son usually fights me on reading, but he actually laughed out loud at Amina’s spelling-bee antics and asked for book three before we’d even finished the last chapter. The way the story mixes real spelling words into the plot keeps him engaged without feeling like homework.

Madison ★★★★★

My daughter tore through this in one sitting and immediately asked if there's a third book. Amina feels like a real kid, not a cardboard character, and the spelling bee plot actually had us both rooting for her. Great pick for any 7-9 year old who likes clever heroines.

Victoria ★★★★★

My son usually groans at chapter books, but he was hooked by Amina's spelling bee strategy and kept asking for "one more page" before bed. The mix of clever problem-solving and third-grade humor feels just right for his age.
