Del Rey, 1997
Back to the Land!
+ Not Free SF Reader + The Greatest double trilogy ever written!

Holes 3280 reviews Louis Sachar
Yearling, 2003
Holes
+ Holes: A fantastic book + Amazing book for all ages
Great book to read to adolescents. Sensitive and practicle. Good fodder to discuss right and wrong. The movie was good too. Not as good as the book of course, but good as well. Teenage boys told me it was a book to read. Short chapters, lots going on keeps the pages turning.
