Join six students as they spell their way through a list of (possibly fake) words competing for the ultimate prize at the annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. While the kids hope they don’t hear the disastrous ding of a mistake, they share heartwarming moments and candid stories. A hilarious ride, complete with audience participation, this is a spelling bee like no other! “Six spellers enter; one speller leaves a champion! At least the losers get a juice box.”
