Book 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.

Book Description
'Your mother is dead and in a box with a lid on. You're not wanted, ' shouted the woman, stripping her of her clothes. Not quite four years old, Gloria was forcibly separated from baby brother Kevin, and entered the often brutal, but sometimes caring world of Rothwell Children's Home. Via the fostering process, Gloria spends weekends with a couple and, through them, meets two maiden 'aunts' who would remain true friends. Childhood years are filled with amazing twists and turns in her search for Kevin, ending with her mental breakdown. Incarcerated in an old Victorian-style institution, she is visited by two unfamiliar relatives, with whom she is forced to live. Aged twenty-one, Gloria starts independent living. Re-establishing her friendship with the two 'aunts', they reveal her father's identity. True love enters her life as she marries Robert Urquhart who continues to support her in her quest to find Kevin.This powerful memoir sheds light on what life was like in a 1950s children's home and follows the author in her compelling journey.
