But were any of them true? How had she really chosen Noah and Nadia and Ethan and Julian? And why did they make such a good team? \u003cbr\u003eIt was a surprise to a lot of people when Mrs. Olinski's team won the sixth-grade Academic Bowl contest at Epiphany Middle School. It was an even bigger surprise when they beat the seventh grade and the eighth grade, too. And when they went on to even greater victories, everyone began to ask: How did it happen? \u003cbr\u003eIt happened at least partly because Noah had been the best man (quite by accident) at the wedding of Ethan's grandmother and Nadia's grandfather. It happened because Nadia discovered that she could not let a lot of baby turtles die. It happened when Ethan could not let Julian face disaster alone. And it happened because Julian valued something important in himself and saw in the other three something he also valued. \u003cbr\u003eMrs. Olinski, returning to teaching after having been injured in an automobile accident, found that her Academic Bowl team became her answer to finding confidence and success. What she did not know, at least at first, was that her team knew more than she did the answer to why they had been chosen. \u003cbr\u003eThis is a tale about a team, a class, a school, a series of contests and, set in the midst of this, four jewel-like short stories -- one for each of the team members -- that ask questions and demonstrate surprising answers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Atheneum Books for Young Readers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780689809934\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.70w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Newbery Medal - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/22\/1996 pg. 242\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/1996 pg. 204\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/15\/1996 pg. 424\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/10\/1996 pg. 49\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSLJ's Best Books\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/1996 pg. 30\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eALA Notable Children's Books\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/1997 pg. 1302\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/1996 pg. 70 - Recommended, Satisfactory\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Review - Children\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/15\/1996 pg. 1051\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e15098 \/ View from Saturday\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.9 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 7\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"E.
