Akeelah And the Bee
“Maybe it’s ‘magic. ’ Human magic….
My dreams did come true, and how many people’s dreams ever come true? It was days before I came down from whatever cloud or star I was riding on high above the earth. Two days after Dylan and I won the National Bee, I turned twelve, we had a big birthday blowout—paid for by Mr. Watanabe!—and then we were back in South Los Angeles—Washington, D. C., a beautiful memory that I know will grow even more beautiful with time. And most of all, I will have it forever a...nd ever.
The day after we returned, I was sitting at my computer puzzling over a starter chess program Dr. Larabee had bought me for my birthday when Mama knocked on my door. I told her to come in and she peeked around the opening holding a letter in her hand. It was wrinkled and coffeestained.
“I want you to read this,” she said.
“What is it?”
“A letter your daddy wrote me a few months before he was killed.”
“I don’t remember him ever going away long enough to write a letter.”MoreLess
