So electric is the drama that millions of viewers tune in to watch ESPN's live telecastBut this national obsession is much more than a sporting story - and this first-ever narrative nonfiction book about the National Spelling Bee immerses the reader in unique subculture, portraying the endearing fraternity of brilliant, eccentric young word nerds who vie for a gold trophy, a hefty check, and a glorious moment of national fame.Author James Maguire, who like the contestants is an inveterate word nut, captures the agony and glory of this singularly American event.
