and teamwork will inspire. Barry Root’s glowing illustrations bring to life all the excitement and energy of a great game and a team working together.

Tangerine

Author:

Paul Fisher sees the world from behind glasses so thick he looks like a bug-eyed alien. But he’s not so blind that he can’t see there are some very unusual things about his family’s new home in Tangerine County, Florida. Where else does a sinkhole swallow the local school, fire burn underground for years, and lightning strike at the same time every day? The chaos is compounded by constant harassment from his football–star brother, and adjusting to life in Tangerine isn’t easy for Paul—until he joins the soccer team at his middle school. With the help of his new teammates, Paul begins to discover what lies beneath the surface of his strange new hometown. And he also gains the courage to face up to some secrets his family has been keeping from him for far too long. In Tangerine, it seems, anything is possible.

View from Saturday

Meet the Souls – “Noah,” who quite by accident was best man at the wedding of Ethan’s grandmother and Nadia’s grandfather

– “Nadia,” a hybrid with a halo of red hair, a dog that’s a genius, and a fondness for baby turtles

– “Ethan,” the silent second son of one of Epiphany’s oldest families, who discovers he likes halos

– “Julian,” the strangest person on the school bus, who starts everything by inviting the others to a tea party

How did Mrs. Olinski, returning to teaching ten years after being paralyzed in an automobile accident, choose these four to be her sixth-grade Academic Bowl team? And how did this unlikely foursome become even unlikelier champions, in far more than just the state middle school competition? “The View From Saturday” is a rich and rewarding journey that answers these questions and raises many more.
