Also, when Harry asks attemps to ask Professor Slughorn 'What a Horcux Is?' but Slughorn refuses. Another, is the 'Advanced Potion Making' book who is Property Of The Half-Blood Prince who gives Harry cheats and short cuts through the potion making. But, Harry is still wondering "Who The Half-Blood Prince is?" Another, important part of this book is when Dumbledore and Harry go to 'The Non Magic Cave' and the find a locket called the locket from the cave but they still don't no if it's the real Horcux.

Dylan Br | 8 comments I am reading the book, The Wednesday Wars, By Gary D. Schmidt. The main character is Holling Hoodhood, A 7th grader Presbyterian. Holling goes to Camillo Junior High on Long Island, New York, 1967-1968 (The story starts in September). Holling used to have Presbyterian friends, but they moved away, leaving him the only Presbyterian in his town. On Wednesday at 1:45, everyone goes to Saint Aldebert's or Temple Beth-El's, neither for Presbyterians, so Holling is left behind at school with Mrs. Baker, a teacher whom (according to Holling) hates Holling's guts. Right now, I'm reading a part where a bus slides out of control, in front of Holling's sister. Holling save's his sister, but gets hit on his...erm...buttocks, and get's smacked into a snowbank at the local bakery, Goldman's Best Bakery. Another event is: when Mrs. Baker makes Holling read Shakespeare book's (out of class, I might add), Holling remember's that he must get cream puffs for the class (after getting one when no one else does) or the class will kill him. He realizes that being in 7th grade comes with death threats. Holling goes to buy 22 cream puffs at Goldman's Best Bakery, and dosen't have enough money, so Mr. Goldman said that he would give him cream puffs for free if he could recite some lines of Shakespeare (coinkidink!). Mr. Goldman is impressed, and gives him a part in the Long Island Shakespeare Company's Holiday Extravaganza. As Ariel. Ariel the Fairy. Hah! This is a summary on the book, The Wednesday Wars.
