The Wednesday Wars by Gary D. Schmidt
4.0

***1/2

Simple, funny, and endearing, in The Wednesday Wars we witness Holling Hollingwood's coming of age journey of discovering how people are not as they seem. At the same time, America is experiencing a similar disillusionment during the Vietnam War through the loss of innocence and changing perceptions of themselves and their worldview.
