The Wednesday Wars by Gary D. Schmidt
3.0

Here's a Juvinile Fiction that adults will find tender and inspiring, and kids won't find. It's written on an easier to read level but is missing the thrill of fantasy the younger set seeks. I however, at 65, enjoyed the heck out of it. 7th grade for Holling Hoodhood started out rough, and ended with some fun memories, some wins, and some losses, and 4 or 5 volumes of Shakespear under his belt. I don't believ I read a full play until I was a full adult! Anyway, adults will like the story. I don't think kids will read it. Maybe they'll sit quietly while it's read to them though.
