''Bye bye, teacher...
See you ___ book four!''
In part the problem is with the use of prepositions, and in part it's with the use of "Book Four" instead of something like "Class Four", "Semester Four" or "Fourth Semester". Had Book Four not been used, "in" would have been fine.
(1) ''Bye bye teacher, see you on Book Four!''
= Tchau, teacher, vou te ver (te verei) sentado/deitado/de pé no Livro Quatro.
(2) 'Bye bye teacher, see you in Book Four!''
= Tchau, teacher, vou te ver (te verei) nas págimas do Livro Quatro.
(3) 'Bye bye teacher, see you at Book Four!''
= Tchau, teacher, vou te ver (te verei) quando chegarmos ao Livro Quatro.
Phrase (1) gives the idea that the speaker is going to see
the teacher with Book Four under some part of the teacher's body.
Phrase (2) gives the idea that the speaker is going to see
the teacher inside Book Four, perhaps on one of its pages.
Phrase (3) gives the idea that when the speaker
reaches/arrives at Book Four, he will see the teacher.
If something or someone is on a book, the book is under that thing or person. (The photo is on the book. = The title of the book is on the cover of the book, not inside the book on a page. It could also mean that the thing or person appears in a photo on the cover or "dust jacket" of the book.)
If something or someone is in a book, the book has that thing or person inside. (The photo is in the book. = The photo is on a page in the book. It could also mean that the book mentions the thing or person.)
If someone is at a book, the phrase refers to his location. He is not in the kitchen, not at the store, not at home. He is nowhere else but at the book. Another possibility is that the person has been reading several books, and he is currently reading (has reached) a specific book.
A possible joke could be "Bye bye, Wizard. See you when we crack open Book Four!" (to crack open = a slang expression meaning "to open for the first time". "I have an exam on Monday and I must crack (open) the books tonight." "Let's crack open a case of beer and watch a game tonight.")
Before starting this explanation, why didn't I read first the date the query was posted?
