内容简介
A novelization of the inspirational movie about an 11-year-old girl in South Los Angeles named Akeelah and her quest to make it to the Scripps National Spelling Bee--with help from some very unexpected places. "Akeelah and the Bee" is the story of Akeelah Anderson (Keke Palmer, "Barbershop 2" and "Madea's Family Reunion"), a precocious 11-year-old girl from South Los Angeles with a gift for words. Despite the objections of her mother, Tanya (Angela Bassett), Akeelah enters various spelling contests, for which she is tutored by the forthright Dr. Larabee (Laurence Fishburne); her principal; and the proud residents of her neighborhood who witness the courage and inspiration of one amazing little girl. 8-page color photo insert.
