A review by readmayahread
The View from Saturday by E.L. Konigsburg

3.75

It actually took me a while to get into the book. The first chapter was interesting but the following ones took me some time to understand as they revolved around the students Mrs. Olinski chose to be in her sixth-grade Academic Bowl team. 

I found it boring at first but later liked the story more and more. The four students who make up the team are a joy to read and perhaps sound a little too good to be true (especially from my POV as a reader from outside the US) but they were wonderfully written nonetheless.

This book also reminds me of movies like Akeela and the Bee etc. Motivational and uplifting.
