jozi_girl 's review for:
The Wednesday Wars
by Gary D. Schmidt
This was a sweet utterly charming, if slightly forgettable, coming of age story which felt like a cross between [b:Spud|701937|Spud (Spud, #1)|John van de Ruit|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1346079654s/701937.jpg|1600810] and Boy meets World.
The story is set in the late 60’s following Holling Hoodhood as he experiences the trials and tribulations of junior high, the Vietnam war and his dysfunctional functional family.
The writing was light, humorous even if some elements were repeated too much (anyone that mention the words “cream puffs” to me is going to earn a slap) with an ending that’s a little to perfectly wrapped up but other than that it was an enjoyable use of my reading time.
