Akeelah and the Bee

A real-life story for all youth about challenges and opportunities to achieve with outstanding results from work-ethic, perseverance, dedication, and self-confidence. Should be a 'must-see' for every grammar-school-age student, without exception. Its principles, if implemented, address the challenges of under-performance in too many of our schools because of parents' failures, teachers' challenges to focus on the proper curriculums, and students' lack of respect and discipline.

My daughter loved the movie so I was very excited to see it in paperback. She's an avid reader for 9 years old and finished the book within 48 hours. She took it to school and was reading every free moment.

Well Done, and a must give gift for a young teen.

This is the best movie I have seen in years. It will warm your heart. You will laugh and you will cry. Do not miss this movie! Jo Reynolds Ketchum, Idaho
