You asked for it (no one asked for it) and we delivered. This week we are talking about Louis Sachar's film and Newberry Medal winning book, Holes. It is a coming of age story about a boy sent away to a juvenile correction camp where he unearths (hell yeah) secrets and breaks family curses. It truly presents as a beautiful children's novel but one foot deeper is an elegant investigation into the prison system and generational trauma... Dig in.
