In this Newbery Honor\u2013winning novel, Gary D. Schmidt tells the\u00a0witty and compelling story of a\u00a0teenage boy who feels that fate has it in for him.<\/p>\n

Seventh grader Holling Hoodhood isn’t happy. He is sure his new\u00a0teacher, Mrs. Baker, hates his guts. Throughout the school year, Holling strives to\u00a0get a handle on the Shakespeare plays Mrs. Baker assigns him to read on his own time, and to figure out the enigmatic Mrs. Baker. At home, Holling’s domineering father is obsessed with his business image and disregards his family. <\/p>\n

As the Vietnam War turns lives upside down, Holling comes to admire and respect both Shakespeare and Mrs. Baker, who have more to offer him than he imagined. And when his family is on the verge of coming apart, he also discovers his loyalty to his sister, and his ability to stand up to his father when it matters most.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\n Gary D. Schmidt tells the witty and compelling story of a teenage boy who feels that fate has it in for him, during the school year 1968-68. Gary D. Schmidt expertly blends comedy and tragedy in the story of Doug Swieteck, an unhappy “teenage thug” who finds consolation and a sense of possibility in friendship and art. With insight and a light touch, best-selling author Gary D. Schmidt tells two poignant, linked stories: that of a grieving girl and a boy trying to escape his violent past. A coming-of-age story with the light touch of The Wednesday Wars, the heart of Okay for Now, and the unique presence of a wise and witty butler. The shattering story of Joseph, a father at thirteen, who has never seen his daughter, Jupiter. <\/p>\n
