Title: The Wednesday wars
First published: May 21, 2007
Description: Holling Hoodhood is really in for it.  He's just started seventh grade with Mrs. Baker, a teacher he knows is out to get him.

The year is 1967, and everyone has bigger things to worry about, especially Vietnam.  Then there's the family business.  As far as Holling's father is concerned, the Hoodhood's need to be on their best behavior:  the success of Hoodhood and Associates depends on it. But how can Holling stay out of trouble when he has so much to contend with?  Rats, for one thing; cream puffs, for another.  Then there's Doug Swieteck's brother.  That's just for starters.---From the jacket of the Audio CD.
