  • *Holes* by Louis Sachar

Cons

  • Holes is really good, but does have a pretty dramatic and sad death in it. Read it just last year for the first time since childhood, and even as an adult who knew it was coming, it was heartbreaking.

Because the chapters often ended in cliffhangers, they would BEG for me to keep reading. I actually had a mom call me because her son had asked her to take him to Barnes and Noble to buy your book, and then he stayed up late reading it because he had to know how it ended.

My question is what inspired you to write Holes specifically? It is both so inspiring and also super depressing and I actually really admire the ability to balance those things to create a full story with all the feels.

Personally, I grew up reading Louis Sachar’s Sideways Stories from Wayside School, Holes, and Hatchet by Gary Paulsen, all of which left a lasting impression on me.
