A 2008 Newbery Honor Book
In this Newbery Honor-winning novel, Gary D. Schmidt offers an unforgettable antihero. The Wednesday Wars is a wonderfully witty and compelling story about a teenage boy's mishaps and adventures over the course of the 1967-68 school year in Long Island, New York. Meet Holling Hoodhood, a seventh-grader at Camillo Junior High, who must spend Wednesday afternoons with his teacher, Mrs. Baker, while the rest of the class has religious instruction. Mrs. Baker doesn't like Holling--he's sure of it. Why else would she make him read the plays of William Shakespeare outside class? But everyone has bigger things to worry about, like Vietnam. His father wants Holling and his sister to be on their best behavior: the success of his business depends on it. But how can Holling stay out of trouble when he has so much to contend with? A bully demanding cream puffs; angry rats; and a baseball hero signing autographs the very same night Holling has to appear in a play in yellow tights As fate sneaks up on him again and again, Holling finds Motivation--the Big M--in the most unexpected places and musters up the courage to embrace his destiny, in spite of himself.Binding Type: Hardcover

Finally done with cheap chargers Anker is the only way to go!
Color: White, Size: 2pack & 2cable
After years of fighting with cheap cables and blocks that stop working after a month, I’ve officially switched to Anker for everything. These 20W USB-C chargers work amazingly well and actually deliver the fast charging they promise for my iPhone. The build quality is on a different level compared to generic brands. They are compact, don't overheat, and the connection is rock solid every time. Save yourself the headache and just get these they are reliable, durable, and worth every penny.

Love all Anker products and this one as well
Color: purple, Size: 2pack & 2cable
These work really great, but the biggest reason I love them is the purple color! They are easy to spot in a bag, suitcase, etc. and are very distinguishable from all my other cables! Anker is a favorite brand!

High quality and fast charging
Color: White, Size: 2pack & 2cable
Love these. They charge iPhones very quickly as well as iPads - much better quality than other USB-C and especially better than the lightning ports. They last long and do not get hot.
