In resposnse to Faith Brautigam's comment about Mrs Baker's name, I assumed she was part of the Baker family as an in-law. Something that did bother me though was the November entry when Holling talks about the pink and white azaleas losing the remnants of their blossoms. Perhaps the blooming season for New York is quite different from Kentucky, but I never heard of azaleas blooming past June. Susan Daole Education Library University of Kentucky

I loved this book though I did not live through the time period, (though I am old enough to know records and stereos). I went to a Mock Printz workshop this weekend at Multnomah County Library and it was one of the selections that all the participants read. We had one high schooler in our small group and she liked the book but agreed with the rest of us that it seemed to be for a younger audience than the Printz. I'd love to see it win the Newberry.

Message: 2 Date: Mon, 7 Jan 2008 11:23:14 -0600 From: "Faith Brautigam" <fbrautigam at gailborden.info> Subject: Re: [CCBC-Net] Wednesday Wars To: <ccbc-net at ccbc.ad.education.wisc.edu> Message-ID: <001c01c85151$fc7f2150$9920a8c0 at gailb.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
There was a lot about this book that I liked, but aside from the question of whether an average 7th grader would understand Shakespeare that readily, I also was distracted by C. Did anyone else notice this? Mrs. Baker was married to Lt. Baker, thus creating the assumption that Baker was her married name. The store, though, was referred to as her family business, but it was Baker Sports Emporium and run by her brother. I couldn't get my mind around this. If she was a Baker who married a Baker, wouldn't this oddity have been mentioned in the book? If I missed something obvious and someone could explain this to me, it would make me feel better.
