Someday Angeline

About this ebook

From a Newbery Medal and National Book Award winner, a story of girl genius who struggles to fit in at school.

Nobody understands why Angeline is so smart. She could read the first time she picked up a book, she can play the piano without ever having had a lesson, and she even knows what the weather is going to be. But being smart is causing Angeline nothing but trouble. The mean kids in school call her a freak, her teacher finds her troublesome, and even her own father doesn’t know what to do with an eight-year-old girl who seems to be a genius. Angeline doesn’t want to be either a genius or a freak. She just wants the chance to be herself and be happy. But it’s only when she makes friends with a boy the kids call “Goon” and the teacher they call “Mr. Bone” that Angeline gets that chance.

About the author

When Louis Sachar was going to school, his teachers always pronounced his name wrong. Now that he has become a popular author of children’s books, teachers all over the country are pronouncing his name wrong. It should be pronounced “Sacker,” like someone who tackles quarterbacks or someone who stuffs potatoes into sacks.

Mr. Sachar's first book, Sideways Stories from Wayside School, was accepted for publication during his first year of law school. After receiving his law degree, he spent six years asking himself whether he wanted to be an author or a lawyer before deciding to write for children full-time. His books include Sideways Stories from Wayside School, Wayside School Is Falling Down, Wayside School Gets a Little Stranger, and Holes, winner of a Newbery Medal and National Book Award.
