balletbookworm 's review for:
The Wednesday Wars
by Gary D. Schmidt
Good historical fiction for kids - a great balance of humor/slapstick (the rats Sycorax and Caliban, the list of ways to annoy teachers, etc) and sobering reality (the Vietnam War, racism, the politics of the 1960s). Very well-written, loved Holling's persistent thought that Mrs. Baker hated him and was out to get him, and the incorporation of Shakespeare into Holling's everyday life was fun to read (particularly the cursing).
