I graduated high school the year Holes by Louis Sachar won the Newbery Award--and I was one of its biggest fans. I was first in line to see the movie with my brother. And I think it's one of the rare instances when the movie is almost as good as the book and you really should experience both.
Holes is a good book for anyone to read, but it's a great book for boys. And there are some interactive features to the book on Louis Sachar's website. That's where I saw this awesome new cover:
I'm usually pretty loyal to the original cover art, but I think this new one is pretty cool too.
Have you ever read Holes? Have you seen the movie? If not, this summer is a perfect time to fix that.
