Bookroo's summary

India Wimple, a spelling prodigy, is thrilled to compete in the Most Marvelous International Spelling Bee in London. Reuniting with friends and meeting the Queen, her dream seems perfect until strange accidents threaten the event. Suspecting foul play, India must unravel the mystery before the competition is ruined. Can she spell her way to the truth and save the day?

From the publisher

“India Wimple can spell with the best of them. How else would she have won the Stupendously Spectacular Spelling Bee and garnered an invitation to the Most Marvelous International Spelling Bee? India couldn’t be more thrilled to travel to London along with the rest of the Wimples. And at first, it seems like a dream come true; she reunites with her spelling bee friends, and they even get to meet the Queen!

But there is skulduggery afoot, with some rather mysterious goings-on going on and a series of accidents that seem to be not-so-accidental after all. India has her suspicions about who is behind the duplicitous demonstrations. But can she solve the mystery in time to save the competition?”
