    Scrabble Victory
  

*by O***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 17, 2011*

This middle grades novel is told from three different points of view: Duncan, a 12-year-old from Pennsylvania; April, from Oregon; and Nate, from New York. All three have learned to play Scrabble extremely well: so well that they participate in the national Youth Scrabble Tournament in Florida. Each plays with a partner. Each plays for a different reason. April plays because she absolutely loves the game . . . and, she wants her sports-loving family to accept her talent as something worth cheering about. Nate plays because his father, Larry, forces him to. Twenty-six years earlier, Larry had also participated in the Youth Scrabble Tournament: he and his partner lost the championship round by one point. Now Larry acts as if his entire happiness depends on only one thing: Nate winning the championship.Duncan, a new kid in his school, plays for another reason altogether. First, he thinks he's playing so that the other kids won't consider him a loser. A nobody. Then he thinks he's playing so that he can give his share of the winning team's money ($10,000 total) to his mother. But really, Duncan learns he's playing in order to do the right thing, not the wrong thing. And in order to learn who he really is.This is a wonderful story, with strong, interesting 12-year-old heroes. The writing is also wonderful: smooth and funny. The story and writing remind me very much of the writing of E.L. Konigsburg.  In addition to the superb story and commendable writing, there's a bonus: the reader picks up many tips for playing Scrabble. Highly recommended

    finally, a book that gets the scrabble right
  

*by M***O on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 26, 2012*

As a tournament scrabble player, I enjoyed this book thoroughly. Wolitzer captures the tension and excitement of playing in a big event perfectly, and there aren't any of the cringeworthy mistakes that often plague descriptions of actual scrabble play or scrabble players. It's wonderful to see a book that has done its research properly.There is also the obligatory set of neatly-wrapped-up, mildly improbable happy endings for everyone, which may bother some people - personally, I enjoy that sort of thing, especially in genre fiction.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    nicely written - very entertaining
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 27, 2011*

I really liked this book.  It's great for the 8-12 year old set.  It reminded me of a View from Saturday by E. L. Konigsburg, not just because it's the same idea of kids forming a friendship while preparing for a competition, but because the friendships are more important than the competition.  I recommend it to parents to read with their kids or for kids who want to read about other kids or learn more about Scrabble.
