The Wednesday Wars
by Gary D. Schmidt
This MG book shattered me and put me back together every other page. The injustices followed by justice, bullying followed by restitution, heartbreak followed by wholeness—just beautiful. Everything Schmidt writes makes me cry. It must be his gift (or curse depending on who you ask). Set during the Vietnam War this book followed Holling Hoodhood, one of the very best middle grade characters I’ve ever read as he navigates 7th grade during a turbulent time in America’s history and his own personal one. Thanks Megan for the rec! On to Okay For Now.
