She\'s not the only one who tangled with the teacher, however, and with suspects ranging from helicopter parents to the school custodian, Maya and Sandra will need to put their heads together to spell out who had the motive and opportunity to silence Ellie Lambert .
Sandra had already confronted Ellie Lambert over unfairly grading her son Ryan--which now makes her a suspect.
But the competition turns killer when a high school teacher who\'s running the bee, clearly favoring certain students, is found dead in the school supply closet.
Rocco\'s concerned parents hire Maya and Sandra to uncover the culprit and ensure their son\'s safety.

Twelve-year-old Rocco Fanelli is a Spelling bee champ in the making. . . partners and moms Maya Kendrick and Sandra Wallage .
