Regarding the Bees by Kate Klise (2007)
The seventh graders at Geyser Creek Middle School are preparing for a
spelling bee and a horrible standardized test called the BEE, and try to smuggle
their mascot--a bee that spells--into the local spelling competition.
Akeelah and the Bee (2006 - DVD)
Responding to a threat by her school's principal, Akeelah decides to
participate in a spelling bee to avoid detention for her many absences. Much to
her surprise and embarrassment, she wins. Her principal asks her to seek
coaching from Dr. Larabee, an English professor, for the more prestigious
regional bee. As the possibility of making it all the way to the Scripps
National Spelling Bee looms, Akeelah could provide her community with someone to
rally around and be proud of.
