February Book

Our online book club is reading Gary D. Schmidt's The Wednesday Wars for our February book. We'd love to have you read with us. It's an adolescent fiction book that Goodreads.com describes in this way:

While all his classmates are enjoying (?) religious instruction, seventh-grader Holling Hoodhood shares Wednesday afternoons with Mrs. Baker, his Camillo Junior High teacher. Not surprisingly, Holling lacks enthusiasm for mid-week appointments with an instructor who assigns him Shakespeare as out-of-class reading. Holling has other things on his mind besides English Renaissance drama. For his dad's sake, he's trying hard to stay out of trouble, but with hovering bullies and other impinging crises, that seems to be a full-time job. Fortunately, help arrives from an unexpected source. Another funny yet gripping novel from the author of Lizzie Bright and The Buckminster Boy.

I think it will be a great book (not to mention, a more relaxed read for a short month). Happy Reading!
