Following hot on the heels of the list of spelling words found in Angie Sage’s book Physik, here is a list of words I collected when reading through the second book in the Septimus Heap series, Flyte. There are 160 words in this list and they might be suitable for school spelling bees for grades 6, 7 and 8, perhaps more towards the lower two grades. (There may be some overlap between this and the previous list.)
