Two-time Newbery Medalist E.L. Konigsburg.First edition. 1997 Newbery Medal Winner! This story of four sixth-graders chosen by their teacher to be on the Academic Bowl team is filled with surprises. Just how were these particular kids chosen for the team? How did they win the Sixth- Grade Academic Bowl contest at Epiphany Middle School? How did they go on to beat the Seventh-Grade Bowl team? And the Eighth-Grade team? Four jewel-like short stories interweave the individual tales of the team members and their teachers to demonstrate that first impressions can be very deceptive as some very interesting questions lead to some very surprising answers!

BIDDERS, PLEASE NOTE: All images taken with a digital camera. I DO NOT use a scanner and any images of interior pages are taken carefully (The book is not flattened down to take images). Also I use a flash so some of the white "Hot" spots on the top and bottom of Books or along folds are caused by the flash and the reflection from the Mylar protector.
