This book is about a group of kids who never really talk with each other, until one day when one of the kids asks them all over for tea. They enter in a "bowl" and call themselves the Souls. They do very well and beat everyone they go against. They become the best of friends over just a little cup of tea. It goes to show you that you can become friends with people in the easiest of ways!

I recomend this book to people who like happy endings. I really enjoyed this book!

The View from Saturday will keep you thinking throughout the whole story
.
The View from Saturday, is about 4 kids in sixth grade named Noah, Nadia, Ethan, and Julian. They were chosen by their teacher, Mrs. Olinski, for the Academic Bowl team. Mrs. Olinski did not choose her team like all of the teachers by holding a mini classroom contest. Mrs. Olinski doesn't even know how she chose them until the
end. The story begins with telling about the contest and the actual contest. A question is asked in the Academic Bowl, and Noah buzzes in. The chapter ends and you hear Noah's story. The book continues this pattern, question, then Nadia's story; question, then
Ethan's story. Noah, Nadia, and Ethan are all connected because of a wedding. Julian comes into the story a little later. During the last chapters of the book, all of the characters are together in different
competitions and a few other things.

I really liked The View From Saturday. It is a great story and I was always interested.

The View from Saturday is about four sixth grade children who called themselves The Souls. Their teacher, Mrs. Olinski, a paraplegic, chooses them for a contest between two middle schools. First, they beat the other sixth grade for the right to represent their class. Then, they beat the seventh and eighth grade classes so they could represent their middle school. They went to the finals and played against the hardest school to beat.

Read The View from Saturday to find out more about the students chosen for the team, and to find out if they win.
