The Wednesday Wars- This is the story of Holling, a seventh grader who feels singled out by Mrs. Baker his English teacher. Everyone in his class is either Catholic or Jewish except for Holling who is Presbyterian. The book is divided into sections that run from September all through the month of June. Each month tells more about Holling, his family, his classmates, his teacher and the world around him which also includes the war. Even though, Holling faces challenges and struggles throughout the book, he also get to experience wonderful things. He gets the opportunity to play with the New York Yankees and shows maturity during his Wednesday lessons with Mrs. Baker. In the end he learns a lot about himself and is able to see the future as something exciting rather than just taking over his dad's business.
