The Wednesday Wars
by Gary D. Schmidt
An unbelievable year in the life of a 7th grade boy. I hesitated to label this as historical fiction, as the events are bordering on cartoonish-style fantasy. All of the adults, and most of the kids, are complete schmucks. Events randomly happen and the characters are improbably intertwined. CAUTION: If you are a member of PETA, or have an ounce of compassion for critters, don't read this book. I did not appreciate Schmidt's attempt to turn animal neglect and abuse into a joke. This was just offensive. I've had pet rats. They are smart, and loving, and funny. They even have their own day: April 4 is World Rat Day. So ppthhbbtt.
