Another wonderful youth book. So much fun to read, for young and old alike.
"MEET THE SOULS
* NOAH, who quite by accident was the 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 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?
And how did this unlikely foursome become an 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."
