 * Name: Lauren Danko **
 * __ Book Report __**

The book I'm reading is called __The Wednesday Wars__. It is written by Gary D. Schmind.
 * 1. ****What is the title of your book and who is the author?**

The two main characters in __The Wednesday Wars__ are, Mrs. Baker and Holling Hoodhood. Mrs. Baker is Holling's teacher and Holling Hoodhood is one of her students. Mrs. Baker is not always the nicest teacher, but sometimes she has her "moments". She is the mean teacher in the school that everyone makes rumors about. Holling is a seventh grader that's always getting himself stuck in trouble. He is the kid who's never the coolist in town but everyone knows him.
 * 2. ****Name and describe two main characters.**

Holling Hoodhood a seventh grader that has Mrs. Baker as a teacher. He knew at the begining of the year Mrs. Baker was out to get him, good. He got into some trouble so now he has to read Shakespeare, outside of class! It is 1967, so everyone's worring about Vietnam and he's worring about the family's business. To Holling, nothing is more important than the family business, Hoodhood and Associates. In his family, you always have to be on your best behavior. Hoodhood and Associates depends on it. Will he make it through the year with Mrs. Baker on his side?
 * 3. ****Write a summary of your book.** (5-12 sentences)

I think the jokes make this story good. Holling is hilarious! I love how he's always off to a good start, then something bad happens.
 * Big Question #1: What makes this book good? **

I think this book would be better if some of the words were smaller. But, when I see a huge word I look it up in the dictionary.
 * Big Question #2: What would make this book better? **

I think the author wants you to know that you don't always get what you want. Nobody's perfect!
 * Big Question #3: What’s the one most important thing the author wants you to know? **

I think the author wrote this to entertain. I couldn't put the book down. Also, he did it to teach kids that nobody's perfect! Holling makes tons, and at the end he turns out fine!
 * Big Question #4: Why did the writer write this? **

They need to know to understand the book, some large words. So, keep a dictionary close. Also, that you may not find all jokes funny. I laugh at everything!
 * Big Question #5: What does the audience need to know to understand and enjoy the book? **
