About This Book
Glowing with humor and dusted with magic, this contemporary novel
explores the ties that bind the four members of a championship academic
quiz-bowl team. Sixth-grade teacher/coach Mrs. Olinski, teaching for the
first time since becoming paraplegic, proudly observes her students'
victories from the confines of a wheelchair. She is not sure what
propelled her to choose the members of her team, nor does she fully
comprehend the secret of their success in repeatedly beating older, more
sophisticated competitors. Readers will be equally mystified until the
backgrounds of the foursome (who call themselves The Souls) unfold
during a series of first-person narratives that reveal the links between
the students' private lives. Newbery Medalist Konigsburg (From the
Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler) orchestrates a stunning
quartet of harmoniously blended voices. She expresses the individual
struggles of each of her characters while showing how they unite to
reach a common goal. Wrought with deep compassion and a keen sense of
balance, her imaginative novel affirms the existence of small miracles
in everyday life. --From Publishers Weekly
