What Parents Need to Know
About The View From Saturday
Parents need to know that superb writing and characters make for a great story, but complexities of plot and style may leave some readers frustrated or bored. The main characters not only compete in an academic contest (contest answers included at the back!) but also outwit the class bullies using brains, not brawn.
