Despre The Wednesday Wars carte
In this Newbery Honor–winning novel, Gary D. Schmidt tells thewitty and compelling story of ateenage boy who feels that fate has it in for him.
Seventh grader Holling Hoodhood isn't happy. He is sure his newteacher, Mrs. Baker, hates his guts. Throughout the school year, Holling strives toget a handle on the Shakespeare plays Mrs. Baker assigns him to read on his own time, and to figure out the enigmatic Mrs. Baker. At home, Holling's domineering father is obsessed with his business image and disregards his family.
As the Vietnam War turns lives upside down, Holling comes to admire and respect both Shakespeare and Mrs. Baker, who have more to offer him than he imagined. And when his family is on the verge of coming apart, he also discovers his loyalty to his sister, and his ability to stand up to his father when it matters most.
Each month in Holling's tumultuous seventh-grade year is a chapter in this quietly powerful coming-of-age novel set in suburban Long Island during the late '60s.
