I really enjoyed this humorous story that is sure to appeal to kids who like to read funny stories or who don't particularly like to read at all. Although protagonist Charlie Joe prides himself on never reading a book, I couldn't resist this likeable character and his cast of friends and foes. I hope that students who are drawn to the cover and title will ultimately find a lot to like about this book!

The Wednesday Wars
Parents who will never understand.
Middle school brand humiliation.
Complicated sibling relationships.
Late 1960's unrest.
A teacher who emerges as a real person.
An authentic narrative voice.
Here are a few reasons to read Schmidt's novel. It is written for a middle grade audience, but I believe readers of all ages will enjoy this one. I loved this book for its plot, interesting characters, and beautiful writing.
