Summary: The View From Saturday
Review: The View From Saturday is about a teacher whose sixth grade class just won the Academic Bowl, and are now challenged to beat the seventh grade. This book caught my interest at the beginning, but it changes back and forth through many different plots. This book can become very confusing, but the many plots all tie together at the end of the book. I would recommend this book to sixth or seventh graders because it is about kids in these grades. It would be harder to understand The View From Saturday if you aren't at least in fifth grade.

Summary: Academic Bowl Results
Review: Noah, Nadia, Ethan, and Julian are the four sixth graders on Mrs. Olinski's Acedemic Bowl team. In Epiphany, New York, a contest is being held, and Mrs.Olinski's team- The Souls- are desperate to win. They want to beat the seventh and eighth graders too. This book is realistic fiction. It is fairly humorus, but more formal because it mostly talks about how The Souls are trying to win. I rate this book four stars. Why? Beacause it has very good character description, is a good book, and is very explanatory. I liked this novel because it is very descriptive, good, but for some reason, sometimes I couldn't understand it! No books remind me of The View From Saturday, probably because it is such a good book.

Summary: Disappointing
Review: When i read the book "From The Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler" i thought it was great, and very well written. My expectations for "View From Saturday" were very high, since the author's other book was excellent. The novel turned out to be really boring and it disappointed me. I recommend readers to skip this book, and i hope E.L Konigsburg will produce some better books like her previous one.

Summary: A delightful puzzle of a book
Review: This wonderful story tells of one teacher and four sixth-grade students who, whether coincidentally or by fate, have gone where no other team of teacher and sixth grade students has gone before. They are the first ever sixth-grade winners of the Academic Bowl, having defeated the other sixth grade at Epiphany, their school, all the other Epiphany teams, all of the regional teams, and, finally, a team of eighth graders from Maxwell, putting them in first place. This book tells of how they met, how they were chosen by Mrs. Olinski for her team - or did they choose her? - and how they are connected and come through for each other. Some people have called the book confusing and hard to follow, but most people who read it, like it. Don't put this book away after going through it once - it's the kind of book you can enjoy again and again.

Review: A very good book for people interested in academic stuff. I especially like how Julian makes the invitations to tea which is always at four O'clock p.m.on Saturday. If you are wondering why it is called "The View From Saturday" then I suggest you should read it.

Summary: A Touching Tale
Review: I found this book very touching and absorbing. Once I read it, I simply could not stop reading it. This story is about 4 young six graders who's lives are told each in his or her own chapter. I enjoyed reading the chapter about Ethan and his quiet mysterious life. Each story was connected somehow by a relation or a family friend!

Summary: didn't like the swear words
Review: This book could have been good if it hadn't used the swearing. I just don't think (children especially) should be exposed to foul language in books.

Rating:
Summary: a confusing book
Review: I didn't like it much it was confusing at first. I still haven't figered out why it is called The view from saterday. I think it would have madde more sence if it wasn't so confusing. It turns out when it tells you there's a flash back it's really flashing foward.
