Akeelah and the Bee by James W. Ellison, Doug Atchison
5.0
i'm not crying. you're crying.
okay. i saw this movie for the first time around my 10th birthday. i didn't know there was a movie novelization until last night and spent the last 12 hours reading it (it's short but i had to sleep).
i don't think i'll ever tire of this book or this movie. akeelah (and keke palmer) is someone i looked up to as a kid. her intelligence, her nerdiness, her determination, her heart. this book captures the film beautifully and even adds some things to the story. (small things - good things). i'm so glad i found out this was a book.
i'm still not crying. that's you.
