Description
Holling Hoodhood's seventh-grade year is off to a challenging start. He spends his Wednesday afternoons with Mrs. Baker, reading Shakespeare outside class, while the rest of the class attends religious instruction. This unusual arrangement has Holling feeling like an outcast. As the school year unfolds, Holling faces various obstacles, including a bully demanding cream puffs, angry rats, and a baseball hero signing autographs on the same night he must perform in a play wearing yellow tights. With his father's business success hanging in the balance, Holling struggles to stay out of trouble. Despite the setbacks, Holling discovers motivation in unexpected places and finds the courage to take control of his destiny. This coming-of-age story is a witty and compelling tale of one boy's journey through adolescence.
