In "The Wednesday Wars" Holling has been picked to be in a Shakespeare play. He is a fairy, and is not happy about it at all. Mrs. Baker tells the whole class that he is in and that if they go see it they will get extra credit. On the same night as the play, a famous baseball player is coming to town to sign autographs. Holling plans on going to see him as soon as the play is over. Three kids from Hollings class go to the play, and even though Holling is in yellow tights they don't laugh. Holling goes to see the baseball player, still in his tights, and the player refuses to sign his ball. Holling is heart broken. But then Mrs. Baker has two other famous baseball players come and play with Holling and two of his friends. They get new mits and balls, and the players give them their hats and Holling gets a jacket. Mrs. Baker is a very interesting character, I cannot tell if she likes Holling or not, I am excited to find out.
