The Wednesday Wars by Gary D. Schmidt
4.0

A fun read! I love when book are written from the perspective of a kid, and they nail it. This did just that. I read it with my boys, 10 and 7. They were confused by all the Shakespeare, I won't lie, but asked lots of questions about the Vietnam War. This led to us researching it together a little, as I too, did not know about all the details. They didn't even cringe at the(very few) kissing parts! My only criticism is the overuse the author had with the one word sentence "Really." It was too much. Really.
