Somehow, he must learn how to stop being afraid and stand up for what he believes in. Wringer is an unforgettable tour de force from Newbery Medal winner Jerry Spinelli. Review: Great book for young readers - Great book. Good lessons, lovely story, pulls at the heartstrings. Our oldest couldn’t put it down. Review: Wringer is AMAZING!!! - I was just going to read this book as a last minute "Summer Reading" assignment, but as soon as I started reading this book, I couldn't put it down!!! The book i thought would take a week to read only took one day! This book made me laugh and want to keep reading it from cover to cover (or in my case "screen to screen") and I just LOVED IT!! As a person who normally doesn't read that much, having a book that I really WANTED to keep reading and not put down until the book was over felt great! This book was fantastic and I cannot wait to read more books by Jerry Spinelli!! This was a without a doubt "five star" rating! -S.S - ## Features - wringer thophy newbery soft cover book ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #65,051 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #928 in Children's Classics #1,224 in Children's Chapter Books (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 874 Reviews | ## Images ![Wringer: A Newbery Honor Award Winner (Trophy Newbery) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Ed+v+o2cL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Language, Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book for young readers *by T***O on June 5, 2026* Great book.

The book i thought would take a week to read only took one day! This book made me laugh and want to keep reading it from cover to cover (or in my case "screen to screen") and I just LOVED IT!!

This was a without a doubt "five star" rating! -S.S - ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wringer (My Kindle Review) *by V***R on October 16, 2024* Spinelli’s novel takes us to the town of Waymer, where an annual pigeon shooting event is held to raise money for the town. There we follow Palmer, a nine-year-old boy who reluctantly makes peers with a group of very troublesome boys who are preparing for the upcoming pigeon day so they can become the event pigeon wringers. As he goes through some serious pressure from them and his father who was also a wringer, Palmer hides his real feelings about the events so he won’t get picked on. He also finds a surprise on his window that needs to be kept a secret or else. “Wringer” is a really emotional story of childhood, peer pressure and standing up for yourself. Palmer’s story can get pretty rough as we see him deal with his so-called friends, his new pet and his feelings surrounding Pigeon Day while the topics of it can be a bit uncomfortable for some. Definitely a story for older kids or even YAs. It does leave you with a soft feeling of warmth and satisfaction that flies solemnly.
