Schmidt, Gary D.
THE WEDNESDAY WARS
New York: Clarion, 2007.
Holling Hoodhood is pretty sure that his teacher hates his guts. Between trying to have eighth graders assassinate him at recess and forcing him to read Shakespeare during their Wednesday private lessons, Holling doesn't have much hope of surviving the seventh grade. But when Mrs. Baker's "plot" to bore Holling with Shakespeare fails, Holling discovers that maybe there is much more to himself than just being "The Boy Who Will Inheirit Hoodhood And Associates". Maybe Shakespeare (with a little help from Mrs. Baker) can help him survive seventh grade afterall.
(By the end of the book, I was so intensely proud of Holling, I cried. <3)
