The Wednesday Wars by Eric Schmidt
Set in the tumultuous backdrop of the 1960s, this coming-of-age story follows seventh-grader Holling Hoodhood as he navigates the challenges of adolescence in a Long Island suburb. With his father preoccupied with his architectural business and his sister caught up in the era's social movements, Holling finds himself spending Wednesday afternoons with his teacher, Mrs. Baker. Initially reluctant, he soon discovers a world of Shakespearean drama and life lessons that help him confront personal and familial conflicts, all while grappling with the broader societal changes around him. Through humor, heart, and unexpected friendships, Holling learns the importance of standing up for oneself and embracing the complexities of growing up.
