Prova de Fogo
28/04/2006
Akeelah tem apenas 11 anos, mas um incrível talento com as palavras. Admirado com esse dom, o diretor de sua escola a inscreve num concurso regional de soletração e faz com que ela seja treinada por um professor com PhD em literatura, Dr. Larabee. Enfrentando a objeção de sua mãe, o ciúme de sua melhor amiga, as diferenças sociais e as dificuldades no relacionamento com o professor, Akeelah vai passando por todas as etapas do concurso, até ser classificada para a grande prova de fogo de sua vida - a final nacional em Washington.
