Her little brother gets a lot of the attention, but Amrita Vukoti, speller 468, is a good speller in her own right.

The Texas sixth grader is the older sister of Akash Vukoti, who is in his third Bee. In his first year, Akash was the youngest at the Bee. He's since appeared on Little Big Shots and Dancing with the Stars: Junior.
