''The View from Saturday'' is a children's novel by E. L. Konigsburg, published by Atheneum Books for Young Readers in 1996.〔(The view from Saturday, 1st ed. ) (catalog listing). Minuteman Library Network. Retrieved 2011-12-07〕 It won the 1997 Newbery Medal for excellence in American children's literature, the author's second Medal.〔("1997 Newbery Medal and Honor" ). Association for Library Service to Children. ALA. Retrieved 2011-11-15〕 ==Structure== Narrative mode alternates between first-person limited and third-person omniscient. In the first person, four students and quiz teammates narrate one chapter each, "deftly prefaced by a question tailor-made for introducing the respective team members".〔 According to Konigsburg, I thought children would enjoy meeting one character, and then two characters, and that they would enjoy seeing parts of the story repeated but in a different way. I thought that they would enjoy having the second character interact with the first character, with each story moving the general story along. And I had hoped that readers would feel very satisfied with themselves when they had it all worked out.〔 ''Saturday'' is not mystery fiction but it is a puzzle or three. Reviewer John Sigwald notes the "cryptic title", the "ubiquitous question (Mrs. Olinski ) how she selected the four sixth-graders from her class", and the "convoluted" and "tortuous" story with "challenging 'clues'".〔 Present publisher Simon & Schuster labels the book for ages 8–12, grades 4-6,〔("The View From Saturday" ) (publisher's listing). Simon & Schuster. Retrieved 2011-12-06〕 but the parental guide Common Sense Media capsule is "Brilliant but complex novel for older kids". "()uperb writing and characters make for a great story, but complexities of plot and style may leave some readers frustrated or bored."〔("The View From Saturday" ) (short review). Cindy Kane.
