"The Wednesday Wars" by Gary D. Schmidt

At first I didn't know if I was going to like the book or not.  I ended up really liking the book.  I never would have thought that a seventh grade boy would be interested in Shakespeare.  There are probably a lot of people that may not like this book, but I definitely did enjoy it.  There are several funny parts and just as many serious parts.  One of my favorite parts is when Holling decided to win the cross country race even though he knew the eighth graders would hate him for it.  At the beginning of the race he wasn't going to try and get first, but he decided to once he heard his teacher tell him to "pass those boys".  This is definitely a book I would recommend for others to read.
