Wednesday Wars
Seventh grader Holling Hoodhood dreads Wednesday afternoons, forced to spend them with his teacher, Mrs. Baker, while his classmates attend religious classes. He's convinced she despises him, especially when she assigns him Shakespeare. But with the Vietnam War looming and his father's business hanging in the balance, Holling's own troubles—bully demands, angry rats, and a starring role in a play—seem minor, until they aren't. This witty and poignant story follows Holling as he navigates adolescence and finds unexpected courage amidst the chaos.
