Set in 1967, Wednesday Wars follows seventh-grader Holling Hoodhood, who must navigate the challenges of school under the watchful eye of Mrs. Baker, his strict teacher. While Holling grapples with Shakespeare readings assigned outside class, he also faces the pressures of family expectations and the backdrop of the Vietnam War. Balancing school, family duties, and personal growth, Holling's year unfolds with humor and heart.

Description

This Newbery Honor tale is now in paperback!

Holling Hoodhood is really in for it. He's just started seventh grade with Mrs. Baker, a teacher he knows is out to get him. Why else would she make him read Shakespeare outside of class?

The year is 1967, and everyone has bigger things than homework to worry about. There's Vietnam for one thing, and then there's the family business. As far as Holling's father is concerned, nothing is more important than the family business. In fact, all of the Hoodhoods must be on their best behaviour at all times. The success of Hoodhood and Associates depends on it.

But how can Holling stay out of trouble when he has Mrs. Baker to contend with?
