I absolutely loved this book, reading it for the first time as an adult. I was touched by the convincing characters, by their multi-generational relationships, and how their lives intertwined slowly throughout the book until they form a team bonded by something much deeper than the desire to win.
I needed this book for a class on Writing for Children. This book was in stock at a very reasonable price and was received within a few days, in plenty of time for my class.
class and he absolutely thought it horrible. I had to read this book for my graduate class and I couldn't wait to finish. He couldn't wait to finish. I feel it is a very boring book with little to no excitement. My son had to read it for his lit. His friends also read the book and thought of it as torture. Sorry for those who thought this would be a great read.
You will find out how they are related if you read the book. They have been friends since they were going to have tea at Julians house.
It is written in second and third person. This novel is about a 6th grade teacher, Ms.Eva Marie Olinski, that is paralyzed from the waist down.
This novel is a great book for kids and adults. The team is made up of four 6th grade students: Ethan Potter, Noah Gershom, Nadia Diamondstein and Julian Singh.
She was in a car accident which killed her husband. She coaches an academic bowl team in Epiphany, New York.
They are all related in some way. I really enjoyed reading this book and I hope you will enjoy reading this book also.
It is a slow read to start, but the flashbacks pull you in to a wonderfully written story. A View from Saturday has been in my class library for years. However, I just finished reading it. Hmmm I wonder if the writer of Slum Dog Millionaire was inspired by this book in 1996. I could not help noticing a similar format.
