This book is about a 7th grader named Holling Hoodhood. He thinks 7th grade will be a breeze, but his homeroom teacher, Mrs. Baker, appears to hate him. Also since the year is 1967 Vietnam is going on and many are at war. There are many more twist and turns in this exiting book, //The Wednesday Wars.// When Holling Hoodhood enters 7th grade his teacher, Mrs. Baker, appears to hate him, but as they get to know each other, they become friends. All of Holling’s class is either Jewish or Catholic, so they leave early on Wednesdays. Holling is Presbyterian. While Mrs. Baker and Holling are alone, she makes him read Shakespeare. He eventually gets led into a play. He even tries out for cross-country and makes the varsity team with the help of Mrs. Baker. This book is fantastic and I hope everyone reads it. This book was AWESOME. If you like narrative story about a 13-year-old boys you could pick this book up and put it down rarely. This book is hilarious, sad, and exiting. If you like a funny comedy about a boy who’s life does not go exactly the way he wants it to, this is the book for you! //By Trey// ////
