In this Newbery Honor-winning novel, Gary D. Schmidt offers an unforgettable antihero. The Wednesday Wars is a wonderfully witty and compelling story about a teenage boy’s mishaps and adventures over the course of the 1967–68 school year in Long Island, New York.
Meet Holling Hoodhood, a seventh-grader at Camillo Junior High, who must spend Wednesday afternoons with his teacher, Mrs. Baker, while the rest of the class has religious instruction. Mrs. Baker doesn’t like Holling—he’s sure of it. Why else would she make him read the plays of William Shakespeare outside class? But everyone has bigger things to worry about, like Vietnam. His father wants Holling and his sister to be on their best behavior: the success of his business depends on it. But how can Holling stay out of trouble when he has so much to contend with? A bully demanding cream puffs; angry rats; and a baseball hero signing autographs the very same night Holling has to appear in a play in yellow tights! As fate sneaks up on him again and again, Holling finds Motivation—the Big M—in the most unexpected places and musters up the courage to embrace his destiny, in spite of himself.

I think it is funny because, this kid named Holling got Mrs. Baker for 7th grade. He worries that Mrs.Baker will give him Shakespeare to read
Its a really great book and it gets funny while ur following along. The kid name is Holling hood hood and his tacher name is Mrs.Baker and just read and find out what happens. :D
I think Wednesday Wars is a really good book. It's emotional, but it has a lot of really good parts in it. I would definitely take time to read this book. I enjoyed it.
I liked this book because Danny didn't ever give up

Mr.HoodHood's son is super funny and he gets into a lot of trouble but when they go camoing for school they have to do chores whitch they are not very happy about so they think it is going to be alot of fun but not really.
I liked this book, I like how Holling went through some hard times and well...
