The Wednesday Wars by Gary D. Schmidt
5.0

I can't believe how good this book was!! It has been on my to-read shelf for years, I and didn't even remember how it got there. I'm not sure what motivated me to pick it up, but I am so happy I did. Loved it! It was written in 2007, but takes place in 1967 in Long Island. It is historical fiction, coming-of-age. It is about family dynamics, Shakespeare, standardized testing, student/teacher relations, Vietnam, long distance running and so much more. Can't recommend it enough.
