The Wednesday Wars by Gary D. Schmidt

5.0

“Of all the kids in the seventh grade at Camillo Junior High, there was one kid that Mrs. Baker hated with heat whiter than the sun. Me.”

And so begins this amusing and moving middle-grade read set against the backdrop of the Vietnam War with Shakespeare curses and grammar lessons woven in for good measure. I think this is my favorite Gary D. Schmidt book❤️🥹
