Wednesday wars by dsmith |
| This is wonderful coming of age story with something for everyone. It has humor, culture, education, romance, history, and teen age drama. Holling Hoodhood is a seventh grader in the year 1967, during the Vietnam War. The way that he deals with the crisis in his life is heartwarming. I truly loved this book. |
