Show Notes: The Wednesday Wars

Join us as we discuss Gary D. Schmidt’s excellent award-winning middle grade novel, The Wednesday Wars. For this book club, we are joined by two college students who persuaded Sara to read this novel years ago when they were in her local book clubs. A special thanks to Marietta and Magdalena Mortensen!

New Guide Released!

Ideal for readers 12 and older, this WWII story follows the exploits of the Jewish Resistance in the Polish ghettos. While the story is told as historical fiction, it follows true events and features many true heroes of the Polish resistance. This book deals with some challenging topics and may be hard for younger readers who are sensitive. For teens, however, this story is likely to generate excellent book club discussion about important and timeless topics.
