Which book features chapters titled with the months of the year?

• A. Two Degrees by Alan Gratz
• B. The Wednesday Wars by Gary D. Schmidt
• C. Wonder by R.J. Palacio
• D. The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

Answer: (B)

Month-by-month chapter headings show time passing through a school year, anchoring events to the calendar so readers feel the progression from one time period to the next. The Wednesday Wars uses this device by lining each chapter with a month name, moving through Holling Hoodhood’s seventh-grade year from September to June. This structure lets the story breathe in seasonal changes and the sequence of experiences, from classwork to adventures, and it highlights how Holling grows year by year. The other titles don’t use monthly headings to pace their chapters, so they don’t fit this pattern—their chapters follow different organizational choices, not calendar-based ones.
