This is another one of those Upper Middle Grade books that makes me remember why I love Midde Grade. The character development. The voice. The feels. The setting. The subtleties. The character growth. The depth of the side characters. And even that ending… dude. This is one I would LOVE to talk about with the Summer Middle Grade book club that I lead. Definitely adding it to our list, and highly recommend for all readers, Middle Grade and above. This was my first Gary D. Schmidt read, but I’m definitely adding the Wednesday Wars to my TBR as well. I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again. Nothing hits like fabulous Middle Grade.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Dude. This Middle Grade don’t hold back. You’ve been warned. (In the best way)

Thanks for reading!
