The View From Saturday

How had Mrs. Olinski chosen her sixth-grade Academic Bowl team? She had a number of answers. But were any of them true? How had she really chosen Noah and Nadia and Ethan and Julian? And why did they make such a good team?
It was a surprise to a lot of people when Mrs. Olinski's team won the sixth-grade Academic Bowl contest at Epiphany Middle School. It was an even bigger surprise when they beat the seventh grade and the eighth grade, too. And when they went on to even greater victories, everyone began to ask: how did it happen?

    This book is great so far. I've only read a few chapters, but it's interesting. It's from the viewpoint of 5 different people; a teaher and 4 students, Ethan, Nadia, Noah, and Julian. All of tham are extremely different, so it makes for a odd, but neat, book.

    I like how the book is written. Although it starts out a little boring, it seems interesting and so far I like the book alright.

    I can see where your coming from. I thought so too, but it gets better. It's pretty much a collection of different, but related, short stories. If you don't like one, you'll like another.

      Actually, it is not a collection of short stories. It is one story told from different points of view by each of the people involved.

    This book is getting much better. I like how the stories are related but, different. Sometimes the book can be a snooze fest and sometimes the book can be really interesting and exciting. I will be sad when the book is over

    I have finished the book, my wost nightmares are comming true. I cant wait to read another book though so it isnt as bad as it seems. I seriously recomend this book for everyone, who is doing making waves. The View From Saturday is one of the best books I have ever read.
