Hello and welcome to a very special A+ Bee! Guess what, I accidentally worked all day with the collar popped on my denim jacket, so this edition of the Bee is INFUSED WITH COOLNESS, probably. Maybe. It’s possible. Either way! Chelsey and I feel pret-tay good about this issue, and we suspect you will too.
Also, just a heads up, we intentionally skipped last week’s issue so that we could better align our release dates with the two most important holidays of the year (Halloween and the holiday hinted at in the brand-new Mystery-Solvers column). Be sure to check out the Call For section for ways to get involved, but remember: We’re interested in just about anything you want to submit, so don’t be afraid of flexing your creative muscles.
You can also download the PDF and make a collage out of it! Hang it up your wall! Write a poem on it! Use it to help you break the Mystery-Solvers code (practical)! The sky is the limit, the world is your oyster, etc. etc.
Xoxo,
Chelsey and Grace
The horse photographs made me laugh unreasonably hard. #Gracewins
I can see Grace in that horse… Matching hairstyles?
Also, I’ll be heading to the shrine to pull out my Harry Potter book ASAP.
Grace horse is possibly the most fabulous-looking horse ever.
Can we all just talk about GRACE HORSE. FAB.
The Stef horse’s eyeliner game is on point.
carmen horse has some serious moves
i’m gonna go ahead and imagine carmen horse just got done touching her mane for like an hour straight while someone else was talking
I hope you all like your horselgangers, I chose them with much insight
<3
this is obviously like the best thing that’s ever happened to me <3
I’m very sad I didn’t get one
Don’t worry this is a series.
Brittani!! I did have a horse for you but it was not included in this issue.. I don’t know if it’s meant to be a surprise..
But I can probably tell you that these are all collected in my new main pinterest board: “horses that look like people”
Brittani
brittani has made that face at me many times.
hahaha I SPOKE TOO SOON
So, I have a notebook, a pen, and an intense desire to show everyone up by being the mystery solver, but it’s not working.
Mwahahahahahahahaha
POSSIBLE SPOILER??–
I thought maybe it was a page:line:word cipher and assumed it was the first Harry Potter but I WAS WRONG. This is what I got: The silver different will child stopped child Mr. They nation’s… and then I stopped because NO. Still not convinced it’s not that cipher, but I don’t know what book it might be… hmm.
ME TOO! my brain is gonna explode
Hint: it’s an AS article
Got it!!! Yes!
This accomplishment is going on my resume: “Solved the puzzle in Issue 4 of the A+ Bee with a combination of 10% effort and 90% helpful hint from Chelsey.”
Please, no spoilers! Can it be revealed next issue?
Of course!
this horse is fulfilling every fantasy elementary school aged stef ever had. i just want to gallop in the surf.
honestly the mystery code has me stumped and i’m SO MAD. if i quit you all know this was why
Use the key!
Also, when I first looked at this last night and was thinking it was some crazy cipher thing, I wikid a few ciphers, and do you know there’s one called Straddling Checkerboard cipher?
I politely request that next A+ bee contains a picture gallery of girls straddling checkerboards/chess boards, with captions written in straddling checkerboard cipher. Maybe I should request that on the tumblr? I’m gonna go request that on the tumblr.
Imma look into this mystery code later because its late, but I just want to say that I laughed so hard at those horse pictures. The one for Grace is really spot on!
i am stumped by the mystery code but i am so intrigued. i wanna solve this thing
just solved the cypher and now im so excited for the day it implies we will be celebrating…
feeling like no one is appreciating brittani’s advice column as much as they should be
