The Wednesday Wars
by Gary D. Schmidt
Pretty solid growing up middle-school story set during the vietnam war. As much as I dare authors to set a good growing up tale in a modern setting, I still loved this one and would recommend it to kids who like Gordon Korman and the like. It's not as full of humor as kids might like, but it's a good story that usually makes sense and pulls the right strings. About that sense-making though-I never did figure out Mrs. Baker. She really did seem to both have it out for Holling and to help him. I can understand his confusion. She wasn't so much a great teacher as he was an excellent student.
