Hole in My Life
by Jack Gantos
This was an amazing book to teach and an incredible book to read. I've never seen a book touch so many people and get so many kids interested in reading. I've had kids that absolutely HATE reading come up and excitedly ask if we're reading the memoir today, or angrily leave class if we ran out of time to finish the chapter. It is funny, scarey, honest and at times brutal, but it offers insight into a world rarely talked about, let alone discussed in the middle school classroom. I would definitely recommend it to any adult, teacher, or mature student.
