When fifth grader Jab Bostwick flunks the Friday Final spelling test every week, his parents are desperate to find help for him. Jab wants to be a disc jockey and can't really see the value of spelling. After all, DJs say words, they don't spell them. Meanwhile, another young student, pooka Rooney from Ireland, is having his own school problems. When he wins a scholarship to study in America, he finds himself in a dreary school run by a mean teacher. He breaks free one day and crosses path with Jab. The pooka is determined to help the struggling lad.. All he has to do is figure out what this spelling is all about.
