Summary of The View from Saturday/Newbery Summer
Meet the Souls
?Noah, who quite by accident was best man at the wedding of Ethan's grandmother and Nadia's grandfather
?Nadia, a hybrid with a halo of red hair, a dog that's a genius, and a fondness for baby turtles
?Ethan, the silent second son of one of Epiphany's oldest families, who discovers he likes halos
?Julian, the strangest person on the school bus, who starts everything by inviting the others to a tea party
How did Mrs. Olinski, returning to teaching ten years after being paralyzed in an automobile accident, choose these four to be her sixth-grade Academic Bowl team? And how did this unlikely foursome become even unlikelier champions, in far more than just the state middle school competition? The View From Saturday is a rich and rewarding journey that answers these questions and raises many more.
A powerhouse sixth-grade Academic Bowl team from Epiphany Middle School; the art of calligraphy; the retirees of Century Village, Florida; a genius dog named Ginger; and a holiday production of "Annie" all figure heavily in the latest book by E. L. Konigsburg, who has produced a Newbery Medal-winning children's tale to rival her classic From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, which won the Newbery Medal almost 30 years ago. The new book centers around a group of four brilliant, shy 12-year-olds and the tea party they have each Saturday morning. Konigsburg's wacky erudition and her knack for offbeat characters make this a funny and endearing story of friendship.
