What a great read! The View From Saturday by E.L. Konigsburg was easy to read and great for young kids who live in a world that is full of jealousy, anger, and hate, and yet we see four kids who are pulled together through karma? I love when authors are able to bring disparate things together, have a profound meaning, and it just makes sense (and feels good). Wrap these things all together and what do you have? You have a story of four kids drawn together by a weird series of coincidences which lead to deep friendship using an elementary school competition, which they win, and teach their teacher something about life and herself. Throw in the genius dog, the goof superintendent, the class bullies and you have the making of “Everyman’s” school life. This is a really nice story. I’d get it on the list. Especially for those days that are gray and rainy. Yes an overcast day, that would work for this one. Sometimes it is through the clouds that clarity of sight is most often seen. Have fun with this one!
