The Wednesday Wars BSY230

US$12.95

On Wednesday afternoons, while his Catholic and Jewish schoolmates attend religious instruction, Holling Hoodhood, the only Presbyterian in his seventh grade, is alone in the classroom with his teacher, Mrs. Baker, who Holling is convinced hates his guts. He feels more certain after Mrs. Baker assigns Shakespeare's plays for Holling to discuss during their shared afternoons. Each month in Holling's tumultuous seventh-grade year is a chapter in this quietly powerful coming-of-age novel set in suburban Long Island during the late '60s.

对七年级的霍林而言,每个星期三下午都是一场灾难,因为班上的一半同学要去犹太教堂学习希伯来文,另一半则要到天主教堂参加教义问答,作为班里唯一的一名基督徒,霍林不得不与严肃的贝克夫人一起待在教室。不苟言笑的贝克夫人似乎总在刁难霍林,“罚”他清理黑板擦、打扫教室、整理大老鼠笼子……在种种手段都宣告失败后,贝克夫人使出了最致命的一招——让霍林阅读“冗长”而“乏味”的莎士比亚作品……于是,一场旷日持久的“战争”在两人之间悄然展开。
