Finally got to this delightful book, a Valentine's gift from @LiteraryinLititz . Full of surprising twists, it describes the experiences of three kids competing in the national youth Scrabble championship. I've served as "color commentator" on the live broadcast of the real-life school championship in 2015 and 2016 and am slated to reprise that role in April, so I feel qualified to recommend this book (though I had no fictional counterpart).
