Heeee, my mother just gave me our extra copy of The View from Saturday. (But of course it was the paperback. Hmph.)

I love E.L. Konigsberg because she writes for children in the same way that most people write for adults -- something about all of the layers and ideas and interesting ways of looking at things and organising the telling of the story itself is so wonderful and right and expecting that children can understand things too, and it makes me happy.
