The story
11-year-old spelling enthusiast Akeelah Anderson attends the predominantly black Crenshaw Middle School in South Los Angeles.
She initially refuses, but enters after being threatened with detention for the remainder of the semester due to her frequent truancy, and wins.
At Woodland Hills, Akeelah meets Dylan Chiu, a Chinese-American boy who has finished second at the past two national spelling bees and is in his final year of eligibility.
