"Dead Wednesday" by Jerry Spinelli follows the story of a middle school boy named Aidan who, during a designated day of remembrance for the deceased, discovers the power of connection and the importance of honoring those who have passed. Aidan grapples with his own insecurities and the challenges of adolescence while he and his classmates engage with the memories of lost loved ones. Through these reflections, he learns about courage, empathy, and the impact of loss, ultimately forging deeper relationships with his friends and understanding the significance of life and death in a meaningful way.
