This is an
excellent question because the author uses an unusual style, presenting events in a manner that
is completely non-chronological.
These events take place before the Souls'
sixth grade year:
- Mrs. Olinski is crippled in an
accident.- Noah Gershom is the best man at the wedding of Izzy Diamondstein
and Margaret Draper at Century Village.- The next summer, Nadia Diamondstein
learns about turtles at Century Village.
These events
take place during the Souls' sixth grade year:
- Ethan
meets Julian on the bus.- Julian invites Noah, Nadia, and Ethan to
Sillington House for tea.- Mrs. Olinski, who is having trouble adjusting to
her sixth grade class, picks Noah to be on the Academic Team because of an essay he wrote, and
is considering Nadia and Ethan.- At a gathering at Sillington House, the
Souls decide to help Mrs. Olinski.- Nadia has her dog Ginger try out for the
school play, Annie.- Hamilton Knapp tries to sabotage
Ginger so his dog can be in the play instead - his unkind behavior when Ginger gets the part
causes Mrs. Olinski to eliminate him from consideration for the Academic Team.
- Mrs. Olinski is invited to Sillington House.
- Mrs. Olinski
chooses Julian to complete the Academic Team, which already consists of Noah, Nadia, and
Ethan.- The sixth grade Souls win the Epiphany School Academic Team
competition, beating the eighth grade in an unprecedented victory.- The
Souls beat Knightsbridge in the district championship meet.- The Souls
defeat Maxwell to win the state championship.
