Bookroo's summary

Rex dreads the spelling bee, fearing public embarrassment, while Pinky is confident of victory. But a new rival and unforeseen humiliation threaten Pinky's confidence. As the stakes rise, can their friendship withstand the pressure? Discover how Rex and Pinky navigate the toughest day of their lives, proving that true support shines brightest in adversity.

From the publisher

Pinky and Rex continue to support each other, even through the worst of times! Readers will love this supportive duo! Rex is a terrible speller, and she’s afraid she’s going to embarrass herself in front of the whole class at today’s spelling bee. Pinky, on the other hand, is a great speller, and he’s sure he’s going to be champion of the second grade again. But Pinky isn’t counting on the new kid in class, who’s a great speller, too. And he’s certainly not counting on embarrassing himself in a way so terrible that winning or losing doesn’t even matter. It’s a good thing he can count on Rex to make him feel better on the worst day of his life.
