The Wednesday Wars
by Gary D. Schmidt
I loved it. This is me GUSHING! Set in 1967 during the Vietnam War, it captured all the complex, nostalgic feelings of middle school. It was tender and full of humor, but also handled the deeper issues of the time period with care. It explored friendships, crushes, sibling relationships, embarrassment, bullies and more. I loved so many things about this book, but the best part was the relationship between inspirational-teacher Mrs. Baker and Holling.
I would recommend it for any adult and the older end of middle grade readers, ages 11-12.
FOUND: I put this on my TBR 4 years ago- March 2016 after hearing about it on Episode 10 of What Should I Read Next. Patting myself on the back for finally reading it while also giving myself a noogie for not reading it sooner because it was downright fabulous.
