Summary: RUN...run as fast as you can.
Review: RUN! This book brings torment as I recall the agonizing days of reading it in the 6th grade. Do not read this book. I have read the other reviews and am dissappointed to see that these people talk about it as if its th most wonderful thing in the world...as if our world, filled presently and probably forever with greed, hate, sorrow, can turn out to be so perfect. As though life will always have the answers. I wonder about the peiople who had written the other reviews...how old can they be? It is clear that none of them, from there technique of writing, could possibly be children. But wait...one minute...isn't this a children's book? I cannot comprehend how grown ups can relate to what a child may think of these book. When had read it, the book had deemed to be boring, plain and dull with no point to its ending. I only hope that you heed my warning and think again before paying with your time and money.

Summary: Creatively Done
Review: As a teacher to be, I was impressed with how this book captures your attention from page one and maintains it through out the book. What interested me into reading it, was that the teacher was a paraplegic, however what kept me interested is how each student shared their story around the answer to the question being asked at the Academic Bowl. I fell in love with the characters and what they stood for. This book is full of little lessons from questions at the Acedemic Bowl, to the importance of team work, to even how everything we do in life is a lesson we will need for the future. What an inspiring book. This would be a great book to read to the class...especially a sixth grade class.

Summary: An Excellent Read
Review: I have read this book several times. Each time I read it, I grow to like E.L. Konigsburg morea and more as an author. She brings us clever and interesting characters that make us want to keep reading. This book is one of her best. It revolves around a Quiz-bowl team of 4 sixth graders who become friends in the process of protecting their parapalegic teacher. Through narratives from the point of view of the 4 students, the reader learns insight into their character. An added bonus: readers learn interesting facts about New York, the sea, calligraphy, etc. through the stories of the students. Buy this book, you will not be disappointed.

Summary: A favorite book of my students
Review: The View From Saturday was my reading class' final book last year, and their second favorite of the eight we completed. My school uses SFA and this is at the bottom of our sixth grade book list. My readers were third and fourth graders that read well above level.

Summary: View From Saturday review by Carolyn
Review: In this book, The View From Saturday, the author tells of a group of kids that teach their teacher about people, and that kindness is not all lost. Noah, Ethan, Nadia, and Julian are a group of sixth graders that become 'The Souls'. Each one narrates their own story, where each one helped out in some way, or had a good intention about something. Ms. Olinski picks 'The Souls' as an academic team, and they blow all other teams that underestimated them out of the water. Ms. Olinski learns that there are always kind people, and that there may not always be an answer for things, just that sometimes you have to go with your gut feeling, even if you can't explain it.

Summary: Great book, simple, yet beautful.
Review: I love this book! I see that all the characters are very similar to me, especially Ethan, Nadia, and Julian. I would definately reccomend this book to people who like reading and are more sophisticated and quiet people rather than sporty and loud and all that comes with that. Wonderful book.

Summary: Oh, Come ONNN!!!
Review: I recently read a review that said that you should read this book to find out what happens. Seriously. You find out the end of the book on the first page. Not to mention the back.
It was incredibaly boring and had no plot at all! I advise you, DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY OR TIME BUYING AND READING THIS BOOK!!!
Have you ever heard of 4 seventh graders not inturrupting each other and listening to each other nicely? NO!
The four main character brats, Noah, Nadia,Ethan, and Julian are overly smart and piggish. They do not act like 7th graders AT ALL!!! They have some kind of physic connection that COULD NOT POSSIBLY EXIST IN REAL LIFE!!!
I highly advise you NOT to read this book!!!!!!

Summary: Not Horrible, But not Great
Review: This book was kind of boring and slightly hard to follow. There wasn't a very strong plot. It did not deserve the awards it got. I wouldn't read it if I were you. Read a Sharon Creech book. They're tons better.

Summary: Terrible
Review: THIS BOOK STINKS!!!!!!!!!! It was the absolute worst book i've ever read. If you even have a distant thought of reading it, eliminate it. I litterally fell asleep reading it. There was very little action, and the most there was was when they found BABY turtles. This is the absolute worst book ever written. If I could I would give this book negative stars.
