    Duncan Dorfman is really creepy with his weird finger. I am a human not a super hero like Duncan Dorfman. But this book is still good.

    I liked the part when all of the spelling groups went to an amusement park called Fun swamp.

    Different story about the competitive side of Scrabble and the type of young people who become game enthusiasts. It is nice to see that you can make friends through all sorts of interests.

    This book had an amazing story, I loved that it had events that could basically could happen in real life. (Besides the finger-tip reading. Sorry if I spoiled a little bit there.) But, I thought this book was amazing.

    I love this book. I really liked that it was about Scrabble. The book reminded me of the word game Banana Grams. Now I am obsessed with Scrabble and really want it for my birthday!

    I was quite impressed with all of the strategies and lists of legitimate Scrabble words that were given throughout the book. It makes me want to play Scrabble even more.

    This Book was a good book because I liked how all of the characters meet up and become friends and it was hard to choose who to root for in the tournament. I liked the ending because I knew that something was going to happen with Thriftee Mike, just I didn’t know that he would [Spoiler info deleted. -- Kate Davie]
