Description
From the Newbery Medal–winning author of the beloved classic From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler comes four jewel-like short stories—one for each of the team members of an Academic Bowl team—that ask questions and demonstrate surprising answers.
How had Mrs. Olinski chosen her sixth-grade Academic Bowl team? She had a number of answers. 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?
It 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?
It 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.
Mrs. 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.

- content: This 1996 Newbery winner tells of four sixth graders who amaze everyone when they win the Academic Bowl, beating seventh and eighth graders at Epiphany Middle School, then going on to the regional and, finally, the state competition. Mrs. Olinski created the team . . . or did she? Jenna Lamia and Jan Maxwell don't quite meet the challenge of bringing Noah, Nadia, Ethan, and Julian to life as they and their teacher tell the story of the team's bonding and success. Other than Julian's somewhat British accent and his father's not-quite-East-Indian voice, the characters' voices lack the individuality that allows listeners to connect with them. Listeners may lose interest through five "views" of the same story, especially when the ending is revealed in the first few minutes. N.E.M. (c) AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
