Synopsis
Four students, with their own individual stories, develop a special bond and attract the attention of their teacher, a paraplegic, who chooses them to represent their sixth-grade class in the Academic Bowl competition., Four unlikely students are selected by their teacher, Mrs. Olinski, to form the sixth grade team for their school's Academic Bowl. During a series of competitions, the individual talents of team members Noah, Ethan, Nadia, and Julian are used to propel the team to the state championship. Meanwhile, the team's success re-instills feelings of confidence and success to Mrs. Olinski, who has recently returned to teaching after being paralyzed in a car accident that killed her husband. Winner of the 1997 Newbery Medal.

Publisher's Notes
First Line: "Mrs. Eva Marie Olinski always gave good answers. Whenever she was asked how she had selected her team for the Academic Bowl, she chose one of several good answers. Most often she said that the four members of her team had skills that balanced one another. That was reasonable. Sometimes she said that she knew her team would practice. That was accurate. To the district superintendent of schools, she gave a bad answer, but she did that only once, only to him, and if that answer was not good, her reason for giving it was."
Industry Reviews
"Some of us have already read every book E. L. Konigsburg ever wrote...but others are going to begin with this book and will probably find it hard to stop before going through the whole shelf. This constitutes nearly perfect praise."
New York Times Book Review - Beth Gutcheon (11/10/1996)
"Konigsburg manages to be knowing without descending into smugness, funny but not foolish, and respectful of subject and reader."
Los Angeles Times Book Review - Karen Stabiner (11/24/1996)
"The large cast, looping plot line, and embedded stories with different narrators require careful sorting, but the effort is eminently worthwhile, and Konigsburg kindly provides answers at the end."
